"Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity." — Charles Mingus. Welcome to my blog—a space I’ve curated and nurtured for some time now as a source of inspiration and connection. Here, I share the many passions that shape my world: design, interiors, architecture, art, poetry, books, literature, music, adventure, rock climbing, travel, love, and romance, to name a few.Think of this as a quiet stroll through a corner of my mind—a place where I reflect on what it means to be alive and explore the deep connection between my inner world and the simple joys of everyday life.Feel free to reach out if something resonates with you—my DMs are always open.

go on more walks. walk for no reason. walk to solve a problem. walk to blow off steam. walk to get outside. walk to listen, read, and learn. walk to escape distractions. walk to improve your health. walk to think. a simple walking habit can change absolutely everything.

eat delicious things in every sense. savor novels that unravel slowly, like decadent meals for the mind. let sunlight kiss ur skin, bask in its warmth like an endless summer. hold close the people who make you feel alive, kiss them tenderly, love them fiercely. laugh at bad jokes, the kind that make you roll ur eyes but secretly smile. plant basil on your windowsill, water it with care, breathe in its fragrance as you stir it into your meals. be unafraid to indulge in beauty, to notice it everywhere and to consume it greedily. there is no virtue in starving yourself of joy, no wisdom in rationing delight.

there is a level of seduction that exists beyond the body. something less tangible, and perhaps more potent. anais nin understood this idea about how desire does not begin with touch but with language, perception, and the sharp electric pull of a mind that challenges and excites you. in her journals, desire is not just a physical hunger but a hunger of the intellect, an unraveling of thought before an unraveling of the body. to be drawn into someone’s mind, to feel their thoughts press against your own, can be more intoxicating than any physical closeness.
—Caitlyn Richardson, 'can intellectual intimacy replace physical desire?', in milk fed
