I have 6 unfinished posts in drafts. I start a story and I don’t know where it ends. There are so many outcomes, even if you’re lucky enough to only live once.
F**** for virginity
Hey, anyone who sees the untroubled and tranquil condition of my soul, can you tell her that I’ve been looking for her?
The enemy of the state
Rainy days have given me ease over my occasional lockdown anxiety this year, making it way more acceptable to not leave the house for days. Wednesday morning was the cruel kind that would make you lose your will to live, but Alexa woke me with my favourite Christmas songs which slightly enhanced the situation. I […]
I thought “here” was somewhere else
The wall-to-wall darkness in my living room is louder than the silence of being alone on a Friday night.

Is veganism the answer?
I continue to be overwhelmed by my re-discovered love for the environment and its many, widely different segments: air pollution, plastic pollution, climate change, waste management, animal welfare or food consumption.
