Culled from Pinterest This blog post has been stewing in my head for a while now I am happy to finally put it down in writing How did this idea come you ask? It's random actually. It's also very private but I guess I am open to sharing... I am meeting a guy for the… Continue reading PRIVATE MOMENTS

The things I do not want in life
Adapted from Pinterest I was having a mini heartbreak (no, I am not going to share what broke my heart), so I had a getaway. Okay, maybe getting away is a dramatic way to put it 😂.

If… Continue reading The flowers grew on me

Nostalgia is an embodiment of people, places, and time.
EINSAM
Adapted from Pinterest I am learning a new language and it is interesting how new words begin to replace known words with a depth one can resonate with. I wanted to name this piece left behind. Einsam is more fitting because it speaks of aloneness. Too often, I have had to deal with the aftermath… Continue reading EINSAM
A Mid Summer Journey
Adapted from Pinterest Wake up in the morning ,put your head out the window, smile at nature and let the sun kiss your morning glow. Walk bare feet, twirl around the room singing out loud to your favourite Ed Sheeran song. Imagine it is the best part of me featuring Yebba. Communion with wonder... Yes,… Continue reading A Mid Summer Journey
