Love this Mesa 💖 the two pieces which resonated most with me are Crystal Palace and Unwanted. As a teen of the eighties, skating was part of my life. I still go today, occasionally, just to relive beautiful moments of innocence and pure fun. 💕💕
Wow, Mesa. Just WOW. I finally got to sit and read these thins morning and I found myself tearing up several times. The boxes... oof. The ones we throw off, the ones others put on us. The box with the divorce decree, looking for your mother's strength. And the first one, was, for me, a time capsule of smells! Each one I know- this is such a gift, to know other writers that were born into your same generation. The nuances that we share. YES! Keep these coming, there are stunning!
YAY!!! I’m so glad you got the first one - I always wonder if I’m the only one who remembers :) It’s such a great “I see you” feeling. I’m so glad you enjoy my little snippets <3 Xoxo
Grateful for this glimpse into the mind and life of Mesa.
I didn't grow up going to the skating rink but your remembering reminded me of the smalls and sounds of the mall arcade my dad would take me after hours of shopping 😂
Also, this line was everything:
"I was molded and shaped by statements and questions."
These compilations get me right in the feelers. Don't ever stop! 😍
😘😘😘😘😍😍😍 Love you! Thank you for your support 😍😍😍

Ooh oh ohhhh!!! I have to come back to this on my laptop for the real reflection. For now- the SMELLS! Left behind with Sunshine.
