i feel i haven't reflected enough in this episode but i was running out of time, but this season has been so special to me! i don't know how to explain it but season one was more of me getting into the podcasting groove, whereas season two has helped come to term with a lot of things, including this latest phase of my life! a lot of thinking, reconfiguring and reconceptualising who i am, what i feel, understanding the changes and the ways everything ebbs and flows. it has been a true pleasure to have you along with me for six months!

i love and adore you with everything that i have!

with kind and peaceful energy,

i really loved my experience in college, i was able to discover myself, discover what i liked, made friends i still cherished. college helped me navigate my independance, advocating for myself! i will be forever grateful for everything that i learned, whether i cared for it or not, for all the discovery of myself, my interests starting with my thesis.

anyway, we are officially back for the last few episodes, there is not even that much left in the season but i cannot wrap my mind around being done with season 2, which is not even a topic for today.

this episode is a beautiful one, coming to term with ymself, my own expectations and my own limitations. i am letting go, making room for the new not in an overly positive way but rather because life waits for no one, and especially after today, being fixated on past encounters truly does not hold anything but a sad pitiful nostalgia!

so with kind and peaceful energy, i hope you enjoy this week's episode!

i think i have been feeling my summertime a bit too much and have lost touch with a lot of routines, communication tools and just have been shite with keeping up.

i want to be at awe with the world again, raveinous for more knowledge, more experience and more growth. not necessarily in a toxic way rather in using that as a way to show up for myself, to become more because i deserve to be more, i deserve to fulfill the needs i have, the hopes i aspire to.

perhaps that will inspire you too, i do hope you enjoyed this episode, it was quite an unexpected gem and i loved how it turned out!

those have been weird times, a lot of adjusting but then also it hasn't been half as bad as i thought it was!

i am coming to you with a new episode dabling around the themes of Paris, and as i write, i realise i haven't even described what Paris feels like to me. Paris to me is freedom, is talking overcrowded transportation, which definitely isn't the best but it's meeting up with friends, it's walking on and about in the city, people watching. it's just feeling instantly relieved when i get into the city, it's about cheap drinks. more than that, Paris to me is really feeling like i belong.

i hope you enjoy this episode!

all my love,

this is my love letter to Dublin. a city i have learned to love and which taught so many things like the ephemerality of lifetime's friendhsips, the patience to extend as things rarely turn out the way you want them, when you want them. but also that there is always something new around the corner and so so so much fun to be had! i wish for everyone to feel life making its way to you and finding your own little corner of earth and being content and happy with who you are!

so this particular episode i dedicate to my friends, who have made my stay in Dublin the best i could've ever hope for...

to Paula, Louisa, Heleen, Elijah, Henry, Ramsford, Tori, Hannah, Lauren, and everyone else; thank you, I love you!

but it was only fitting seeing that i hosted my first ever guest on the podcast!

Mabinty is my oldest friend and the closest too. like we talk about in the podcast, our love and friendship really informs and infuses the way we interact with other people (whether friends, lover or even family). i just think that in the society we live in friendships inform so much of the way behave, interact and grow as human being; discussions that I've had before with Mabinty and thought it only fair to share it with you.

this one is definitely a bit different and longer than usual, but I hope you hold space to receive it!

all my love,

i hope those songs, shows, movie and book can help you whenever you found yourself grieving next (unfortunately, it is always a question of when).

thank you for letting me take this space to talk about such a sad subject, and also per usual make it a reflection on how beautiful life is and how precious our moments on earth are!

thank you so much for tuning in, taking the time, and following and listening to what I had to say over the past 11 weeks. it truly means so much that this little project of mine was cherished and celebrated by people and that my suggestions were taken into account! you guys are legends!

through this time, I have stepped in and out of my groove; I have been messy and rambling, and it has been one of the best feelings - to have room to express myself about things I care about simply has been magnificent!

being an art history student, it was only fair that for this last episode, I talked a bit about art. here's a very condensed, very (unfortunately) Western rundown of art history through its styles (or movement, whatever you decide to call it) and its approaches (or methods - scholars still disagree about that!) - I hope you enjoy it!

so until next season, and to new intros, music, themes and messiness!

from the bottom of my heart and all the love in the world,

today's episode is about being cherished, loved, and cared for -all falling under the umbrella of being celebrated. something I have struggled with over the past couple of years.

but in honour of my birthday and letting people love me and verbalise it, I have dedicated this episode to being celebrated. like I mentioned it in the episode, that can mean so many different things, from dancing in the kitchen and feeling good to being praised and appreciated by people around you - celebration comes from within and is/ should always be emphasised by everything else.

so here's to this season's second to last episode; thank you for staying with me thus far!
