Exhausting-:exhausted. #yawn
Exhausting-:exhausted. #yawn

36 years ago. First day of kindergarten I get home from school. I slam the front door. I walk into the kitchen. My mom looks at me and I say:

(In Punjabi) “I did what you told me. I said:”
(In English) “Hello, my name is Tavinder.”
(In Punjabi) “And nothing made sense after that...”
(In Punjabi) Mom: it’s okay there is tomorrow and then the next. It’ll make sense soon.

41 years later talking to my spirit tree.
Um so things still don’t make sense. In fact, things are pretty weird. I’d like to think more so lately, but things really haven’t made sense since I learned to say hello my name is Tavinder and I learned English. In fact, things make less sense the more I vocabulate... in English.

... the wind picks up, the tree makes a rustle sound. I think it’s shrugging at me. This all feels like a very Calvin and Hobbes moment.
