I gave my mum Alexandra Horowitz’s On Looking: Eleven Walks Through Expert Eyes for her birthday this year, it’s a book that revolves around this idea: the author invites 11 specialists in different things to walk around a boring city block with her one after the other so they can point out to her the things they see, that she doesn’t notice. There’s an expert in typography talking about what the variety of fonts on urban signs can tell you about the city’s history, an entomologist pointing out all the urban insects no one pays attention to, a geologist, a sound engineer…

Diary Entry #1

I saw my therapist the other day, I cried so hard during our first session, my eyes were red raw, my face all blotchy with the sorrows of my past imprinted from my tears... and when I left I went straight back home and fixed my make up and left my house like nothing ever happened. And for the first time in such a long time I felt empowered and like nothing could touch me.
