Winter Moonbeams
Winter moonbeams wander wide,across the fields where shadows hide,they spill like whispers, soft and cold,on branches bare and stories old. They weave through night’s crystalline breath,between the stars and earth’s quiet death,etching frost on windowpanes,where longing lingers and silence reigns. They lace the world in silver threads,crown the pines and rooftops’ heads,glow on paths that Continue reading

A Quiet Unfolding
In the stillness, something shifts,A quiet pull, a gentle rift.Not a break, but a soft release,A letting go, a finding peace. We don’t become someone new,We shed the old, and feel what’s true.Layers fall like autumn leaves,A whispered dance, a soul that breathes. It’s not loud, this quiet change,No grand reveal, no need to arrange.It’s Continue reading

Woven in Black: The Threads of Trust
I stand in a small, dimly lit room, surrounded by mismatched chairs and the smell of coffee and incense.The gentle rhythm of a bongo drum hums in the background. I’m dressed in all black, the fabric heavy against my skin, but I feel light, as if the beat is carrying me forward. It’s my turn Continue reading

Winter Touched My Skin and My Heart
Winter came to me slowly, like a lover who takes their time, savoring each moment before diving into the depths. His presence was a quiet promise, unspoken but felt, wrapping around me in a way that I couldn’t quite shake off. His touch was cool at first, like fingers lightly grazing the back of my Continue reading

Snow Falls, But I Am Warm
There’s snow outside today, soft and gentle, falling quietly as if the world itself is holding its breath. The air is sharp with cold, but somehow, I feel a warmth in my heart, unexpected and comforting. It’s a warmth that rises slowly, as if it’s been there all along, just waiting for the right moment Continue reading

Elphaba, Glinda, and the INFJ-ESFJ Dynamic: The Clash of Depth and Conformity
I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on how different Enneagram types interact in books and films. As an INFJ 4w5, I’ve always been fascinated by the complexities of character dynamics, particularly the tension between characters who are polar opposites but somehow find themselves intertwined. It’s this sort of contrast that adds a deep, almost magnetic Continue reading

In the Quiet of What Was
There’s a peculiar kind of space that exists now, neither empty nor filled, but suspended in a way that feels both unsettling and inevitable. It’s strange how something so dynamic can shift into something so intangible, and yet, it lingers. Like a theory untested, or an idea that hasn’t quite reached its conclusion. It’s not Continue reading

Friday Night Reset: Digital Painting & Sushi
Some weeks just drag, and by Friday, I needed a reset. So, I ordered some sushi, curled up with my dog, Chewy, and opened Procreate to paint the stress away. While I enjoyed my food, Chewy happily lounged beside me, probably hoping for a bite (he got a treat instead). In the span of a Continue reading

A Portrait of Light: Painting Myself Into the Aurora
There is something about the aurora that feels like a language I almost understand. It moves with a kind of knowing, a silent rhythm written in color, never still, never fully graspable, yet undeniably real. It exists in the space between darkness and light, between earth and sky, between what is seen and what is Continue reading

A Love Letter to Spice
I didn’t grow up with spice. My mom, born and raised in Germany, considered a lot of black pepper too bold, a reckless gamble on an otherwise perfectly balanced dish. Our meals were careful, deliberate, steeped in history. Vinegar for brightness, cloves for warmth, paprika for depth. Butter melted into broth, softening the sharp edges Continue reading

Finding Strength in Connection During Uncertain Times
Lately, it feels like the world is more uncertain than usual. Every day seems to bring a new set of challenges, making it harder to predict what will come next. Whether it’s political shifts, societal changes, or personal struggles, there’s a heaviness in the air that’s hard to ignore. We’re all trying to make sense Continue reading

Those Who Leave a Mark on Our Lives
I’ve been reflecting on the people who’ve made a lasting impact on my life. Sometimes, we don’t realize how much someone can shape our journey until we pause and really look back. There are moments where we understand the value of these connections and how they push us to grow. Grateful for those who continue Continue reading
