in the inter.

Inside and outside of me; ever-changing. The same nature, separated only by the thin shell of my skin.

i didn’t love words until i was thirty-five. my work consisted of images; my body resonated with sound. i didn’t meet you until i was thirty-five.

@luvpoaster HOW!

it takes little effort to dance as the cool drizzle touches my skin and the tannic smell of fallen leaves fills the air.

high agency is an observable outcome, not a skill that can be practiced. practice consists only in endless confrontation with what is deepest in oneself and acting on its demands.

do not mistake
strength for hardness

a tree,
steady and rooted,
nestled my tired soul

the ocean,
vast and forceful,
embraced my stiff body

this morning
i hugged a tree
and she held me back.

Every social platform built for meaningful expression eventually decays into low-effort, fast content.

Wix used to suck but it’s like better now?

Framer, Webflow, and Figma sites are more technical.

@kytalli ASMR train videos are the best!
