Goodbye letters and 2024 announcements
I'm leaving for Asia for a while and... I've never been great at saying goodbye.
‘Where does pain belong in casual conversation?’
Extract from a letter.
“(…) Perhaps this was a lot… I’m sorry. I did not mean to curate another hell week for you. This is what I had in mind and I could not share while you were around. So I wrote every day for a little bit, wanting to soak my triggers out so I would not feel left with pieces of regret or unspoken pride. I hope that the bitterness will dissolve soon enough. It already does. Then, I’ll remember your shine, your laugh, your playful eyes, I’ll remember waking up thinking of you, I’ll remember how much you memorized the things I would say or write, I’ll remember the gifts, the magical signs and I’ll remember holding your hand silently when my mouth would shut down. I truly hope that one day we’re in the same city again, sharing feelings that belong to the present or the future, fulfilling our wishes. For now, it seems that our best ally and still worst enemy will be the passing of time.”
Cycles, the Sacred and the Doomed is now published and you can order it online… :)
If I wasn’t loud enough, the book Cycles, The Sacred, and the Doomed is printed and out.
Recently, I've been reflecting on who deserves my infinite gratitude, and it's clear to me that this book may not have come to fruition without the unwavering support and love I received from my lovely friends and my former partner Juli. To think radically and critically about the world, its beauties, and its injuries, one needs to feel appreciated, loved, and more than anything, safe. I’m forever indebted to what they gifted me with.
