Colour, Fabrics and Flavours: Rediscovering Joy in Singapore
So much colour and vibrancy today. My creative heart was honestly jumping for joy. After spending so much time exploring alone, it felt really special to share the adventure with someone. There’s something about good company that softens the edges of a city and makes everything feel a little more alive. Gardens on the Bay…
The lost parts of me.
As I flew away from Rome, something inside me broke. The further I travelled from Europe, the further I drifted from you. They keep telling me our love was an illusion, but if it was, why does my heart still ache like this? Why does every path I try to forge lead me back to…
Kintsugi Man
One day,you will be asked to facethe hearts you brokewithout looking backthe ones you were too afraid to feel. You will sit,in the quiet of your own undoing,and the silencewill ask you to accountfor all the ways you ran.

What will you do with this one wild and precious life? Life asked me this during one of Dr Joe Dispenza’s meditations. I will lean into everything and feel every texture, every emotion, every piece of nature. I won’t leave a rock unturned until I understand what is there to discover, what is there to…
Her Own Undoing.
With each step, each crunch, each sliver of light through the trees, she felt herself unravelling. The fist in her chest loosened. A breath entered. Understanding. Acceptance. The texture of life met her skin, her lungs, her eyes, yellow butterflies, cicadas, the warm summer air. She sat with her pain as a mother with her…
Finding Trust in Nature: Lessons from Pelion
I’ve been navigating a really turbulent time lately, sitting with and in pain, unearthing limiting beliefs, old wounds, and patterns that no longer serve the version of me I’m becoming. I’m sure that when the time is right, I’ll find the words to write about it all. But for now, my mind keeps drifting back…
