Writing with feeling

I, too, want to be a writer and creator who feels free. But there are some days when I wonder if it’s too late to unravel the knots I’ve tied myself up in.

An inner expedition

Reflections on a period of learning and self-discovery. (I won’t say “rediscovering” because I’m not convinced I knew who I was before.) I have no idea where this is going to end up; all I can work towards is a “clear-seeing kindness”.

Turns out that you don’t get over anxiety, trauma and stress just because you’ve decided that you want it to happen.

Small, but certain

Here we are at the end of January 2024. This year has already been pretty brutal, and I haven’t figured my life out yet. But I did buy a rice cooker, so I’m going to count on the small wins.

Transformations

I turned 35 a little more than a month ago. It’s an age I never imagined as a child, but now I find that I’m at a stage in life where I’m not just contemplating, but also embracing, change.

Maoler

Oh yeah, I wrote a book
