Years ago, I stood on Arthur’s Seat—the ancient volcanic summit overlooking Edinburgh—with the wind rushing past and the entire city spread below me.
From that height, the world just felt immeasurable.

I didn’t yet know about the house fire—the rewriting. The weight life would carry.
But I was small inside something vast—and I was still here.
This month, I share Spoonful of Gravity.

It was a rocky year-end for 2025 and a rocky start to 2026. The holidays were devastating without mom and my Uncle Jack. I spent them mostly alone or quarantined. After losing my mother, and switching jobs, I ended up battling different ailments & apartment problems. I hope to feel much better soon.
