preoccupations

Here’s 1 sentence each from 8 journals I wrote as a queer adolescent:

• Thought I wouldn't see him, but I did! (Journal #1, 2 August 2013)
• He was really handsome, and he wears glasses! (Journal #3, 26 September 2014)
• Tinulak ko siya pero inside eh kinikilig talaga ako. (Journal #4, 4 December 2014)
• We didn't exactly hold hands; he just held my wrist. (Journal #5, 19 March 2015)
• He said hello, so I said hi. (Journal #6, 8 April 2015)
• He's a bit awkward, but his awkwardness is cute. (Journal #7, 12 August 2015)
• Tapos laging nagmi-meet ang mata namin. (Journal #8, 5 March 2016)
• Mejj ilang araw ko na siyang iniisip kasi. (Journal #9, 28 March 2017)

*Journal #2 was lost because the family laptop was broken; Journal #10 is too recent
