#cynlyn

Thinking about how Cynthia mourns the community she missed out on because of assimilation and how she searches and clings what parts of her culture she can find because it’s all she has, and how Brooklyn mourns the community that was taken from him because of violence and how he holds onto the culture he was raised in so that it doesn’t become lost. How Brooklyn gives Cynthia comfort without her having to worry that she’s burdening him and how Cynthia gives Brooklyn hope in her pursuit of her culture. Two people who share their grief and are able to heal from it together.
