This is…. Still Time
Still Time is the place where I keep articles, essays, thoughts.. and more. It’s whatever’s sitting on my chest at the time.

I know.)
I find still time in conversations with my friends, in music, in the little side quests that change the course of my life. This space is my way of keeping track of it all. A moment of silence, in motion.

5. leave the country

Becoming Something I’ve Never Been
This one’s a little more personal. I’ve been thinking about change, memory, and the weird space between who I’ve been and who I want to become.

Their Eyes through My Eyes
Yesterday, I finished reading Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. I cried at the end, and when I looked closer, I realised they were tears of joy—not sorrow.
