“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” – Mary Oliver
This space is my canvas, where I intend to tell stories through writing, photography, music, and travel. Every moment has a tale to be told, and with my talents and time, I seek to bring to life the beauty, depth, and wonder of the world that exists around us.
Writing
Writing has been my refuge for as long as I can remember. A place where creativity flows freely and my thoughts find their release. Whether seeking solace, expression, or simply the magic of storytelling, I have always turned to the written word. This blog is an extension of that passion, a space where I explore themes of grief, travel, music, photography, and personal moments that shape me. With each post, I hope to capture life as it is: raw, beautiful, and ever unfolding.

This poem mourns how a love built from small shared moments and joyful reunions has turned into absence. It ends with accepting the quiet and moving forward without waiting.
