leftover goodbyes

Rilke once said that you should write if you must write. So here I am, closing another chapter of my life and bidding words of farewell to a space that has always been safe and comforting for the last six years - my blog. I also wanted to use this as an opportunity to write …

A mid year check in 💜

It's definitely past mid-year now, but we will ignore that fact. The first half of the year has been overwhelming to say the least, but we're not here to discuss that, we're here to discuss the absolute blessing that books are or more specifically what books I've read so far in the year. This is …

After Dark by Haruki Murakami

It is 2:46 AM. A cup of warm coffee in one hand and the other wandering over the keyboard of my computer, trying to find the constellation of letters that would coherently describe my love for after dark. I believe that there are a few books in the world that have the ability to make …
