General

i live between candlelight and autumn air

the world feels too loud, so i hide in sonnets,
oak trees, and classrooms where time stands still.

Music

nick drake on a rainy morning, classical piano in drafty lecture halls, the smiths echoing across brick walls, florence + the machine when the sky breaks open, simon & garfunkel at midnight.

Movies

Television

the crown (rituals and repression), twin peaks (dreams that rot at the edges), brideshead revisited (lost innocence in stone corridors)

Books

keats, shelley, wordsworth, rilke, donna tartt’s secret history, plath’s journals, virginia woolf’s waves, letters no one sends, poetry that burns like autumn in the lungs.

Heroes

students who believed poetry could change the world.

teachers who told us to stand up.

writers who carved eternity out of nothing but ink.
