Moon at Half Past Noon

Dear friend,

Before the calendar turns, I feel a strong pull to explore the biggest, most fundamental questions in our lives, the ones that connect us all. I’m talking about identity, migration, love, and death.

These themes feel vast, I know, but they are also deeply personal. I want to look at how we figure out who we are when everything is shifting. I want to write about what it means to move—whether that’s crossing a border or just moving on from an old chapter of our lives. I want to dig into the many layers of love and how it shapes us. And, yes, I want to talk about death, not in a scary way, but as a real, inevitable part of life that often teaches us the most about living.

You can expect some new posts, maybe a short story or two, and some reflections that get a little vulnerable.

A Request for Your Stories

As I start writing, I would genuinely love to hear from you.

• What are your stories? If any of these themes—identity, migration, love, or death—have defined a part of your life recently, share it with me.
• How would you approach this differently? If you were writing about these four things, what angle would you take? What would you focus on?

Please leave your thoughts or your own brief stories in the comments below, or feel free to reply to this post!
