Banana Yoshimoto, from her novel titled "The Premonition," originally published in 2015

“Whenever I smell a flower—my heart tells me each time that a memory of something extremely beautiful and precious is connected to the fragrance, something that had been mine long ago and became lost. It’s also the same with music, and sometimes with poems—all of a sudden something flashes, just for a moment, as if all at once I saw my lost home below in a valley, and then it immediately disappears and is forgotten.”

— Hermann Hesse, from “Iris”, The Fairy Tales of Hermann Hesse (trans. Jack Zipes)

some of my personal 2025 resolutions

mourn

grieve

start fresh in every way possible

see more places

look at things from different angles

return to a sense of childlike wonder

find parts of myself i’ve hidden away for other people’s comfort

remember that i am not alone in this world without needing constant reminders
