Whispers between the lines…
Not all secrets are meant to be kept.
There’s a certain magic in the quiet corners of a week—where a line of poetry lingers, a song tugs at a forgotten feeling, and a book holds more than just words. This is your invitation to slip into those spaces with me. Let’s wander through the art that’s been whispering to my heart lately—quotes that burn softly, music that aches beautifully, and poems that feel like old friends.
Quote of the Week:
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." — Oscar Wilde
This quote is a quiet reminder that life isn’t measured by the days we count, but by the moments that set our souls on fire. Don’t just move through the world—feel it, break for it, burn for it. Living begins where mere existence ends.
Currently Listening:
“Bobby Sox” by Green Day
This song feels like a love note scribbled in the margins of a high school notebook—raw, reckless, and beautifully simple. It’s about the kind of love that doesn’t need grand gestures—just old movies, midnight cemetery walks, and a promise whispered between two hearts that understand each other's chaos. It’s a reminder that love isn’t always polished—it’s messy, wild, and honest… and sometimes, that’s the best kind.

Currently Reading:
Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed is a heart laid bare—an unflinching look at love, loss, and the raw edges of being human. It reads like a whispered conversation at 3 a.m., full of brutal honesty and tender wisdom. Cheryl doesn’t just give advice; she reaches into your soul, reminding you that even in the mess of it all, there is beauty—in the tiny things, the broken things, the hopeful things.
Inspired By:
When You Are Old by W.B. Yeats is a love letter to the inevitable passage of time, a quiet plea for someone to remember not just the beauty of youth but the depth of a love that’s endured. It speaks to those moments when we grow older, and what we truly hold onto—what we’ve loved, who we’ve loved, and how love can transcend even the most fleeting of moments. There’s a quiet tenderness in this poem, a gentle reminder that love is not just in the physical, but in the lasting, soulful connection that time cannot erase.

The Layered Coin Necklace is a subtle reminder that the stars align in the most unexpected ways. With the poem “Searching for truths in each other’s stars” engraved into a coin charm, it’s a piece that speaks to both love and destiny.
With its delicate, pre-layered chains and a zircon “diamond” at the center, it’s not just jewelry—it’s a statement. The XX ATTICUS engraving on the back is a touch of poetry, worn close to the heart. Wear it as a reminder that the universe has a way of bringing what you need.

Until next time, keep searching for the truths that light up your path.
Love from the shadows ✨
