Back to blog- Clearing the Queue
On finally getting backup, letting someone go, and what's left when you stop running from yourself.
- Building as Avoidance
On the honest reason I open a terminal at the end of a hard day, and what I am not looking at when I do.
- Knowing Your Worth (And Saying Nothing)
On the particular silence of someone who already knows exactly what they're worth, having already talked themselves out of saying it before anyone else gets the chance.
- The Haircut Nobody Mentioned
On showing something new about yourself, hearing from everyone, and noticing the one silence that mattered more than all the rest.
- One pair of hands
On carrying everything alone: the tickets, the silence, the grief, and the people I can't quite reach.
- What I Gave
Some things only become clear months later. And once you see them, you cannot unsee them.
- Unexpected Variables
On suddenly carrying too much, being seen by the wrong person at the right time, and not knowing what to do with that.
- Still Listed
An unexpected moment that showed me how love can remain, even without access.
- Between Scores and Self
I recently took a BDSM test again — not to be defined by it, but because tests like these offer something: language, shape, a mirror held at an angle you might not have chosen yourself. What I found was less about the result and more about what happens in the space between the question and the answer.
- Shared Worlds
How digital spaces can quietly become places where two lives exist together.
- The Futures That Quietly Disappeared
On the quiet grief of plans that once felt certain, and the small futures that vanished with love.
- Building Things After Loss
How creating small digital spaces and infrastructure can become a quiet way of rebuilding yourself — and why slowing down is the only way to do it right.
- After the Silence
Reflections on what remains after a meaningful relationship ends, and the quiet ways loving deeply continues to shape who we become.
- Love Without Access
A reflection on a first love - what it meant, what it cost, and why distance was the most loving thing left.
