Hello, and welcome!
These are a few things I believe in:
✨ The most important thing in life? To eat well. Sleep well. Laugh a lot.
To have a light heart that knows what peace feels like—not performative peace, but the kind that’s quiet, steady, yours.
✨ We all have a god-shaped hole inside us—an emptiness, a hunger, a question with no permanent answer. Nothing external will ever fill it, not fully. The work is learning how to hold it without trying to fix it.
✨ I don’t know about being good or bad, but I do know this:
To thine own self be true.
It’s the only compass I trust.
Why I write
I write because I cannot live in this world without letting it touch me.
I write to touch it back. I notice things. I name them. I release them.
That’s the cycle.
That’s what this Substack is about.
I am not someone who writes for content,
but for connection (mostly with myself—past, present, future).
What I write
Emotionally charged essays (read: I overthink so you don’t have to) on intimacy, emotional patterns, mental health, and feminism
Poems—sometimes raw, sometimes rhythmic, always real
Soft confessions, fears and hope dressed as metaphors
Thoughts on books and reading
A poem I keep coming back to
섬 — 정현종
사람들 사이에 섬이 있다.
그 섬에 가고 싶다.Island — Jeong Hyeon-jong
There is an island between people.
I want to go to that island.
There’s a space between people that isn’t loud, transactional, or easy to access—
it’s quiet, tender, messy. It’s not performance; it’s presence.
That space is what I’m trying to reach when I write.
This Substack is that island for me.
If you’re still here…
Wow. In a world where the average human attention span is now officially shorter than that of a goldfish, the fact that you made it to the end? Something here must have stirred something in you.
Subscribe if you’d like to keep visiting the island.
I’ll be here.
Figuring out how to eat well, sleep well, and laugh a lot.
