as if you were on fire within, the moon lives in the lining of your skin. — pablo neruda🌛 _ i took a trip around chinatown and landed on the moon today 🚀🌙 _ growing up, i was told i was always in my own world. i took that as a bad thing and it stayed with me up till today. however, i’ve come to realise that it’s my own coping mechanism and that it’s perfectly okay that it is. living in a galaxy of fantasy and make-believe protects me from my trauma. so, i created my own little universe, an escape, a place i’d call home. somewhere kind where i’m safe from harm and shielded from the hurt. if i could name a physical place that serves as my safe haven, it would be none other than @themoonsg no doubt 🌌 _ ever since i found out about this little humble bookstore/café/event space, i knew i needed to stop by. i love and stand by the brilliant work that the moon does for the community, among its many other noble ventures. it’s absolutely heartwarming to see 🤍 _ my experience as soon as i stepped into the store was truly surreal. i felt complete. almost like i was understood. i felt like i was heard here — without judgement, never silenced 💫 _ i’m not quite sure how a seemingly ordinary spot could make me feel all fuzzy and warm inside. i never felt so connected to such a venue before until today. i’ll be back again real soon 🪐✨ _ #themoonsg #someplacesameplace #indiebookstore #bookstagram #printisnotdead #exploresg (at The Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oKycblGAp/?igshid=243r3439ypkn
