Dunes

I turn over, and my eyes widen at the dunes that lie before me. Rolling curves of golden sand, dusted with freckles that hint of a life before me. A life before you. I fight the urge to hold those grains in my hand, feel their warmth and their...

7 Things I Wish I Knew Before Moving Abroad

It’s been awhile since I wrote a post that wasn’t some style of poetry, and wasn’t directed towards an audience. It’s been even longer since I wrote about my move to Australia and life abroad. Actually, it’s been ages since I wrote anything remotely raw and transparent, without the...
