Whispers from the Week
A few things I stumbled on in the dark—thought you might like them too.
Some weeks, the world speaks louder in quiet moments. In a line from a book, a voice in a song, a feeling you can’t name but know by heart. These are the things I found in the stillness—or maybe they found me. I hope they find you too 🖤
Quote of the Week:
"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight—and never stop fighting." — E.E. Cummings
The world will try to name you, tame you, shape you into something safer. But to stay true—to be wildly, quietly, stubbornly you—is the bravest kind of poetry.
Currently Listening:
“Gap in the Clouds” by Yellow Days
There’s something about this song—like sunlight breaking through after a long winter.
It reminds me that sometimes the best things find us when we stop looking. A beautiful mind. A sudden warmth. A gap in the clouds. And just like that—life feels possible again.

Top Post This Week:
Here’s a little snapshot of where my thoughts have been lately. Sometimes it’s easier to feel everything in fragments.
The Tattoo Of The Summer Is Here ☀️ 🌙
In collaboration with artist Ollie Smither, we created a limited-edition temporary tattoo that carries the fire of the sun and the calm of the moon. A reminder to stay wild, no matter where life takes you.
The world keeps turning, the shadows lengthen, and somewhere between the quiet and the noise—we find these small sparks worth holding onto. Thank you for walking this path with me,one whispered word at a time. Until next week, stay wild.
Love from the shadows ✨
