persistence is key

“Are you ready to free the writer within OR WHAT?” says my enthusiastic writing partner before he gets bored & interrupts everything

“If a painting really works down in your heart and changes the way you see, and think, and feel, you don’t think, ‘oh, I love this picture because it’s universal.’ ‘I love this painting because it speaks to all mankind.’ That’s not the reason anyone loves a piece of art. It’s a secret whisper from an alleyway. Psst, you. Hey kid. Yes you.”

Salt Lake city was nice enough to add to my sticker family (new stickers on the left, growing collection on the left)

The daily carry & some souvenirs 💌 (note to self: just because you bought all these Muji notebooks at the same time, that does not mean you have to carry all the Muji notebooks at the same time every where you go)

Tudo Bem? Has anyone ever tried a Pastel de Nata from Portugal? They’re really good and very traditional so if you ever find yourself in Lisbon, go to Fabrica de Nata as they make them fresh right in front of you and they’re to die for! 🧁✨

This probably has to be my favorite version of The Little Prince book! This Bulgarian version, Малкият Принц, has such beautiful detailed illustrations ✨

Things that make people feel loved

making them a playlist

baking for them

giving them flowers

creating art for them

random reminders that they are loved

writing them a poem or a letter

complimenting them on their talents

asking how their day was

sending them links to things you think they will like

random hugs

“This made me think of you”
