Charles Baudelaire, from a letter featured in The Selected Letters of Charles Baudelaire

It's not a London trip if I don't visit this place. I got some novels in translation by a small publisher that would be quite inconvenient to find elsewhere. Getting complimented for my cardigan was a sweet bonus. The loveliest of Autumn days.

finished butter—thinking about hunger, cooking, being alone—so much swirling in me—read a bunch of papers on making borders—thinking about imagining spatial bounds of freedom—something is crashing together in my head, don't know what yet

Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

I went by the little studio I used to live in a long time ago 🥺 It is right above a flower shop, and every morning I really appreciated being greeted with so much colour! During this visit I sat in the new cafe across the road from it and wrote a card about how much my life had changed… This city used to make me so anxious because of drama relating to my ex, but this time I was so calm existing there with the love of my life. I found new libraries, new matcha spots (a drink I hated before!) and finally was able to connect with people en français (!!!) I left this place 3+ years ago, but only now feel like I can close that messy chapter of my life. Letting go really does feel like a breath of fresh air 💛
