22




There are a lot of things that can be said about 21.

But I'd like to believe that there is more to say about 22, even though it's only just begun.

22, I'm sure you will be full of luck, laughter, and love. I can't be more grateful that you're here. You're just the fresh start that I need. Can't wait to fill you with new memories, with new people. :)

an epilogue to twenty-one


“the year of letting go, of understanding loss. grace. of the word ‘no’ and also being able to say ‘you are not kind’. the year of humanity/humility. when the whole world couldn’t get out of bed. everyone i’ve met this year, says the same thing: ‘you are so easy to be around, how do you do that?’ the year i broke open and dug out all the rot with own hands. the year i learnt small talk. and how to smile at strangers. the year i understood that i am my best when i reach out and ask ‘do you want to be my friend?’ the year of sugar, everywhere. softness. sweetness. honey, honey. the year of being alone, and learning how much i like it. the year of hugging people i don’t know, because i want to know them. the year i made peace and love, right here.”

— Warsan Shire

Hello, October.




I started my October reading "Blankets" by Craig Thompson.

It was already a beautiful graphic novel as it is, with a story so gripping and simple and honest, that it wasn't really difficult to fall in love with it.

But this panel. This scene. This song. This.



you, soft and only
you, lost and lonely
you,
just like heaven.
