Jan van Essen (Flemish, 1864 - 1936) - Sleeping Cat

It’s strange to think that long before I had a name or a heartbeat, I existed in some shadowed, elemental way. Women are born with all the eggs they'll ever have, and these begin forming while they're still in the womb. So when my mother was just a fetus, the egg that would become me was already inside her. That means my grandmother carried not just my mother, but the beginning of me as well. For a fleeting moment, the three of use shared one body, and went through life together, layered like nesting dolls.

someday in the future you’re going to stop and realize for a second how far you made it and that it was worth it like the happy ending epilogue of a book after the conflict.

“In winter I think spring will be my salvation, and in summer I think autumn, and in autumn winter, it is always the same, I hope from one season to the next.”

If you spent the first half of 2026 in survival mode, may the second half be spent in revival mode. It’s time to heal.

On summer mornings I used to rise early, to enjoy them alone; on summer evenings, to linger solitary, to keep tryst with the rising moon, or taste one kiss of the evening breeze, or fancy rather than feel the freshness of dew descending.
