It shouldn’t be this hard
It shouldn’t be this hard. I bemoaned, yet again, the same woes. Because it took me longer to do the task, because I was distracted easily, because it was hard to get out of bed, because I can’t just wake up and go, powered and directed just by passion and goals. My struggle was a…

All I could be doing
I caught myself mid scroll, frantically hoping for another hit a quick video. I find myself way too often searching for video after video to entertain myself. There I am waiting for algorithm to make me laugh or think. When instead… I could be reading a book, getting lost in composing images of the fictional…

Decluttering
There is a pile over there, haunting me, taunting me. It contains all of the papers that I told myself I would need to get through. Of course, there might be an important detail in there that I will need at an yet undisclosed point in time. I can’t let go of it, because I…

I owe him this blog
Four years ago today, I started blogging in earnest. I put up my first real post on this site. It was about Virgil Abloh, founder of Off-WhiteTM and former creative director of Louis Vuitton menswear. I started back watching fashion shows after not really engaging with the field.

More burdensome please
I had been so busy over the last few weeks that I couldn’t stand the idea of cooking. It was just a unnecessary drain on my limited time. And now, here I am, unable to eat longing for the chance to play with seasonings and to be in the kitchen playing with food. Funny how…

Giving Vanilla 28 yet another chance
I have this tiny vial of Vanilla 28 from Kayali. Even though I hated it on first spray I decided to keep it for a particular reason: I hoped that it would get better with time. Or rather I discovered that it did. This is the fragrance that I continue to give another chance. Even…

In with the old
The year is coming to an end. There are just a few days left on the calendar. Where did all of the time go? Where did all of the opportunities go? What do I have to show for another 365 days? I can’t help but reminisce and wish for more time, for different times. I…

I didn’t want to write this post
I have been avoiding writing this post. I don’t have a good reason for it, beyond the call of the scroll. I just would rather watch videos and learn from someone else instead of having to put in the effort to draft something new. I would rather watch someone else pursue goals instead of risk…

Pretty things
I decided to treat myself this year to a luxe advent calendar. I hoisted the box up and set the calendar out. Then, I took a step back. “It’s beautiful.” And then I looked around to the space, with all the projects strewn about, the unpacking still undone. “I have got to clean this up.”…
