🌊 🖤
Love these black and white shots.
They can be beautiful, gritty and everything in between.
1/3.
‘.. baby let me set you free’ 🎶
🖤
It was a grea- no, glorious day. Yes. So much creation, so much create-ing. It is what we are here for. Harmonious, connected… ahh, growth. Constantly shed the skin, the layers, the personas and the ‘idea’ of who you are *supposed* to be, ugh.
Who are you?…
No! no definitions! That’s the point! Be open. To all of it! Try everything thrice! Lol.
Ok that’s enough for now. Gnite 🖤✨🌊

#MonsterEnergyIndia #MonsterUltraIndia #Ad
You ever just feel absolutely broken and insanely – unbelievably – inspired to create worlds at the same time? Like you could sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean and rise up to touch the sun in the same breath?
Life. Ahhhhh. L-i-f-e.
#inhale #exhale #dyingandlivingwitheachbreath #sheesh
What a freaking metaphor – for life.

We are, right where we’re supposed to be.

#ELLEDigitalCoverStars: There are plenty of reasons to love actor @banij. Her intrepid rabble-rouser character Umang in the ongoing Four More Shots series on @amazonprime, spotlights the elusive B in LGBTQIA+ while bringing meaningful conversations about inclusion and acceptance. When quizzed about the status of LGBTQIA+ representation in TV shows and movies, she shares, “Having LGBTQIA+ individuals see characters that reflect their own experiences and identities can be incredibly powerful and validating. It helps them to be seen and heard and broadens their sense of acceptance—especially for young people who may be questioning their own identities and wondering why they don’t see anyone else like them on screen.” Head to the 🔗 in the bio to read the full interview.

B O O K S! 📚
What I’ve been reading since my last book post as well as one book I’m currently reading!
Friends, Lovers, & the Big Terrible thing – Matthew Perry:
Felt a bit let down by this book.
Don’t really know what I was expecting but the lack of self awareness MP expresses was a little worrying, lol.
Viola Davis – Finding Me:
If the MP book let me down in terms of self awareness – VD restored my faith ten times over. I’m a VDavis fan. I could hear her through this book. Just, what a life story. I enjoyed this book.
Early Morning Riser – Katherine Heiny.
Started this book on a 6hr flight and burned through it so fast. You think it’s an easy breezy story but then it takes a turn and becomes so much more in the best way possible. The ‘real’ version of a fairy – tale. You’ll get what I mean once you read it 🙂
⭐️ My absolute favourite book from this post; Klara & the Sun – Kazuo Ishiguro.
I picked this book up while in Thailand and I could not put it down. I also didn’t want it to end. ^conundrum^
I was fascinated by Klara, by her fascination, her POV and.. you guessed it, her self awareness. A bit bizarre yet totally believable and more than anything had me wishing she was real and I could go meet her 💕.
The Unberable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera.
Another book I picked up in Thailand. Definitely started to burn through it but then it lulled and I had trouble finishing it. Well written – from all the characters POV’s which I love- including the authors thoughts too! Treś cool.
There’s No Such Thing As an Easy Job – Kikuko Tsumura.
Blazed through this one as well as I was travelling for 3 days recently and flights are the best time to just sit and readdd. Never read a book about someone ‘temping’ or switching so many jobs that were so vastly different from one another, very cool.
⭐️ Currently reading:
The Myth of Normal – Dr. Gabriel Maté.
I am a fan of Dr. Maté. I love how he simply explains the complexities of trauma and perception. As you can see I’ve been annotating the heck out of this book – there is so much GOLD in here. Will update once I’m done in the next book post.
📚💕 I’d love to hear what you’re currently reading!
