“So maybe growing older isn’t so bad after all, especially when it looks like the face of the company I choose to keep.” Esje 🥹

(I thought that you would like to know that I read this beautiful essay of yours as I wait for the one and only Patti Smith to start her concert, I’ll be celebrating for the both us !!)

Happy birthday!! I am loving the concept of being a 7yr old adult. It gives so much hope of how we are just beginning our adulthood. And the way we are desiring more simpler life filled with love is the sign of us growing up.

And I loved today's letter. 💌✨

On the topic of impermanence and transience, "SAKURA" by Rosalía comes to mind. The song title is said to be inspired by a Japanese flower known as sakura which symbolizes the beauty of impermanence. Such a great philosophy. I've been listening to "SAKURA" everyday for weeks now.

I really relate to this. I read this on the morning of a couple of days visiting old uni friends, 5 of us in a flat, enjoying each others company even though its been a while it feels easy. Friendships, the people we meet really are a magical thing, make life worth it. Also I really like your writing and look foward to reading more :)

I love this so much!! 💌 I deeply resonate with this at a very great level. I'm very scared of growing up and reading this might have changed my mind!! To grow with people who love you and spending time with people who you love. 🌸💌 A very happy birthday to you!! 💌🌸
