“I realize there’s very few things I’ve read and watched that talk about the deep, complicated dualities of being a survivor.” spent a lovely, soul-nourishing afternoon at @playgroundcoffeeshop with @mimizhuxiyuan to discuss Be Not Afraid of Love, their debut essay collection, out today (!!!) in true ♊️ fashion, we talked about everything—writing through trauma, honoring the dualities within ourselves, relearning how to love with intention. I told Mimi this when we met up, and I’ll say it again: Their story is going to change lives. I’m so grateful for their curiosity, vulnerability, and great kindness ❤️‍🔥 (📸: @mattgrubb.americas.waffle for @them)
