Clem Flowers - ive been going thru some things
Watching TV one night, their head on my lap (not like that, not like that,) sweet Moon looks up at me.
“I’m so proud of how much work you’ve put in on your mental health, but you’re still You.”
Then they reached up & kissed me.
We went back to watching the meme compilation video & we both laughed at the weirdness & the fun, but my mind did wander.
How did you get to be You?
ive been going thru some things is a memoir in snippets, an attempt to go back and map a path to the self. In back seats and dirt roads, Clem Flowers traces the moments of misfit, letting us watch as dawn rises syrup sweet and slow on this girl from the south. For anyone who envies the sure thing of born knowing, Flowers reaches across indecision and reminds us that, for so many born in a world without options, awakenings are slower, and hurt that little bit more.
All print orders include a pdf version of the full text.
