Some days begin with a plan, and others unfold like a loosely written script that happily ignores all direction. This morning felt like the latter. I intended to brew a cup of tea, sit near the window, and read a chapter of a book I’ve been “currently reading” for far longer than I’m willing to…

There’s a certain charm in letting your mind wander without any particular mission, almost like taking an unplanned stroll through a park you’ve never visited before. Today’s blog lives perfectly in that space—aimless, curious, and delightfully unpredictable.

Somewhere beyond the edge of ordinary routine, there exists a place where unfinished ideas gather like tourists waiting for a bus that never arrives.

There are strange Tuesdays, and then there are truly strange Tuesdays—the kind where you wake up to find a line of marshmallows sitting upright on the kitchen counter as if they’re waiting for a keynote speaker who is already ten minutes late. Nobody knows who organised the meeting. Nobody knows the agenda. All we know…

Day 1: I was built to stand strong, mark boundaries, and stop next door’s dog from using this lawn as a personal amusement park.
