Mae McIvor
I find myself craving home even though it holds many childhood traumas that loiter in the shadows. I yearn for the comfort of the familiarity. Everything there feels frozen in time. Nothing ever really changes. I know exactly what to expect, even memories that lurk. In many ways, it still feels like the ranch is stuck in the 1880s when it first started. Not just physically but socially. Being non-binary and a lesbian, I will never feel comfortable making it my home again. But my connection to this land goes beyond just me and reaches six generations deep. This is part of what keeps me tethered to this place and why I find myself craving it's solace and comfort.
