✦ welcome to my garden ✦
hello, wanderer! you've found my little plot on the internet. i use this space to write about things i love — books, walks, slow mornings, and whatever else is rattling around in my head.
feel free to look around. sign my guestbook if you stay awhile.

2026.02.14a short defence of doing nothingthe most subversive thing i do each week is sit by the window with no phone and no task. not meditation. not journaling. just sitting. it took me a long time to stop feeling guilty about it.

the overstory
★★★★★
changed the way i look at every tree i pass. one of those rare books that genuinely alters you.
🎞
past lives
★★★★★
quiet and devastating. i sat in the car after and didn't want to move.
🎵
history of a feeling
★★★★☆
lo-fi folk for people who journal in coffee shops. i mean that as the highest compliment.
📘
piranesi
★★★★★
unlike anything else. i finished it in one sitting and immediately started again from the beginning.

★★★★★
the way memory and grief blur together. haunts me still, two years later.
🍵
wuyi oolong (2023)
★★★★☆
roasty and mineral. exactly what i want on a grey morning. the second steep is the best.

✦ hello there
i go by mossgarden online. i made this site because i missed having a corner of the internet that felt like mine — not an algorithm's version of me, just a place i tend to by hand.
i write about books, films, music, tea, and slow living. i post when i have something worth saying, which is not always often.
