le reconnaissance

Tuesday, May 26, 2020



• the one hour morning slot reserved for Animal Crossing: New Horizons • catching 3 betta fish on Friday morning, ready for CJ to turn into art • my beloved, always • my beautifully curated bedroom, filled with comfort and joy and beauty • the cold, relieving wind outside • memories of Edinburgh • the presence of my best friend making a 7 hour shift feel enjoyable • my Lush order arriving days earlier than expected • Asda's dairy-free mature cheddar alternative • new books taking me back to old worlds • noticing a difference in my thinking following chapter 2 of radical radiance • inspiration in any form •

feeling inspired

Friday, May 22, 2020



You wake up with a tingle in your chest. Your mind already crafting sentences, scenes and anecdotes. Your fingers itching to be wrapped around a paint brush. The shades readily selected. 

 True inspiration, much like happiness, is elusive. The more you seek it, the further it moves away. It's rare, I find, at least it has been in my life. It comes whenever it decides, and leaves much the same way. 

a taste of soy

 Soy island. My pride and joy. With our native apples and natural rivers and unnatural waterfalls. The most blessed place to be during these trying times, and a place I've spent more hours than I'd like to admit. A place I've hosted birthday parties and dates and play-dates. A place I feel comforted and nostalgic and safe. Animal Crossing: New Leaf saw me through some of the rockiest stages of my recovery and it's only fitting that New Horizons is comforting me now. 

life lately

Sunday, May 17, 2020


 Ah, the nostalgia of writing that simple two-word title. I can't count the number of times I've published a 'life lately' post across my 8 year blogging history. They're among my favourites to read from others, too, although they're sometimes more imaginably named, a la Daisybutter's Sundaze series (which I've been reading since it's conception!). There's a sense of comfort - and discomfort - that comes from spilling my thoughts and lifestyle on the internet, both of which kept me from doing so publicly for a long, long time. But here, at Lunaswren, I feel safe to share them.
