forgot about everything else for a while and spent two perfect weeks deeply lost in my beloved appalachia ⛰️

im late posting about it (as usual) but two weekends ago on the recommendation of a friend i squeezed into this tiny glorious english bookstore in paris and it was just everything you dreamed about as a kid who loved books. it’s a beautiful feeling to discover a set of sliding bookshelves. 📚

i love italy and art and humanity and my best friend and orange trees and standing in the middle of a place that was buried in ash for hundreds of years and marveling at the beauty of everything.

alternately, i went on vacation!

excited to have this personal piece on my biological father and my childhood daydreams featured in rebirth, the recent anthology by the selkie. 🍓
