For the rest of 2020, I was draining all my tears and emotions with the state of the world, injustice, a heartbreak, and work. There was little energy other than walk my dog for 2 hours twice a day as my form of exercise
When 2021 came around, I had to set. it. right.
And I told myself, where can I just disappear for a week? This, I later find out is quite an avoidant tendency of mine…
My friend Viviane had semi-manic freaked out on my whereabouts because I wasn’t responding for 48 hours during this trip
So I asked my sister: “Hey, lets go to joshua tree for New Years”
She agreed
And we spent a lovely, therapeurtic, and wholesome time together reading, meditating, hiking, and listening to true crime in the desert
I took these in black and white because I wanted to showcase how simple life was back then when the intention was focused on letting go of the most pivotal year of my life - and I wish to only view them that way
I later devleoped these during my solo trip to Houston and found out that these were expire film… but none the less, I loved them.

Poem:
sister
could I have asked for a more special person to be my soul mate?
