17 vivid, near-death encounters that remind us how close we are to the edge. The idea that we unknowingly pass the anniversary of our death date each year hit hard. But what stays with me most is the resilient beat of “I am, I am, I am”—a fierce declaration of existence and survival.

Just finished Milkman by Anna Burns—a haunting, powerful novel about surveillance, silence, and survival. Heavy, disorienting, but rewarding.

“People here talked in contradictions, in circular statements, in avoidance. Truthfulness got you into trouble, got you suspected.”
