i’ve been sitting on this little book for about a year. i began compiling these thoughts during my thesis process in the summer of 2024. if you are at all familiar with the summer heat of italy, then you understand that much like the themes presented here, there is a transition that happens within your body and psyche when existing in stagnant heat. the kind where you leave the blinds closed until 8pm, eating melon standing over the sink, fans circulating in all directions. what began as a place to put my pain, evolved into an opportunity for a much overdue release as i explored restrictions i had begun to wriggle my way out of. the void is dark, and warm is a gift to myself, an acknowledgment that while i may not return, entering the unknown, bringing the haunted to the surface, is not frightening.
below you will find a payment option—in good faith—there is no set price for this digital book, but all donations are appreciated.
