The moon and I

Dear John

A bit of nostalgia

Pexels.com Dearest reader welcome to my little corner of the internet. It has been a while since we shared musings from this Gen Z mind and I know I am partly (fully) to blame but what can I say except my usual excuse, adulting. A couple of days ago, I came across a letter I...

Growing Pains

Greetings from my very tired and dry mind. Yes, I’m still alive just lacking motivation and the will to structure a few coherent and good enough sentences. It has been a very busy couple of weeks and a lot has changed since the last time I was here. For starters, I am employed now. I...
