Easter 🐣

“Even the smallest bud knows the secret of hope: to open, despite the memory of frost.”

~Agatha Christie

“When spares are spared, when time is turned, when unseen children murder their fathers: Then will the Dark Lord return.”

the days grow kinder.

It’s a shame, because the premise had real potential, especially with its focus on stepping away from technology and exploring identity. But in the end, the execution just didn’t work for me.

Still, I have to admit I liked it overall. The atmosphere and character work kept me invested enough to see it through, and the concept itself is memorable. Even if it didn’t completely grip me the whole time, it’s a solid read with a unique angle; just maybe not the thriller some readers might be expecting.

It’s stormy outside ⛈️

"I've missed you old friend, till we meet again."

“The world softens in spring, and somehow, so do I.”

“I don’t have all the answers, but I’m starting to ask better questions.”

“I woke up to the scent of spring 🌺”

“I want to be found among the ivy and shadows, a book clutched to my chest, sunlight brushing my face, as if the world outside were a secret whispered only to those who read too much and feel too deeply.” ☀️

Mostly reading, occasionally thinking too much, and making crêpes in quiet defiance of the world.

It’s time 🪄 ✨
