    I walked the highveld on a Saturday with no one. The light was good but there were too many insects buzzing and my head started feeling heavy. My phone buzzed with an unreturning message from Berlin. I kept walking and felt that little bit of warmth in my chest.

    saw two men walking their dogs in the rain, both wearing umbrellas, and felt the weight of all the choices not made

    I'm reading 王晓明's translation of 王家卫's screenplay for 春光乍洽. the last scene is just a conversation about the weather

    saw someone reading "the four agreements" on the train again and now i want one of those magnetic bookmarks that says "i survived another meeting that should have been an email"

    The other day a director asked if I'd ever considered producing. "Because you're everywhere." But locations are my life's puzzle: every street corner, stairwell, abandoned storefront — they tell their own stories which is why nobody else notices them like I do. And honestly? Producing sounds terrifying to me now.

    I used to be scared in stairwells alone but now they're my office hours. Each floor has its own peace 🙏 😂❤️
