lately, my family has been really struggling. there have been so many days spent crowded in my grandmother's living room, trying to figure out what the hell we do now. and when i can’t sleep (which is often these days), i find myself grateful that, through it all, at least we have each other, the way turquoise and kai and their community surrounding them do. the american dream isn’t just dead — it was never alive for us in the first place. and so we suffer. but at least we have each other. because if we didn’t, we’d have nothing.
