Homesick

Sometimes I feel homesick. I can’t help it. It could take a small thing. It just takes a photo of the Andes. 

Sometimes a read people like Lucia Berlin. She lived in Chile in a period before heading to University. She has such a beautiful way of writing. She also was not scared to take on different types of jobs to those she was educated for. It is in that sense that I can connect with her. 

But she did have a problem with alcohol for the longest time. She was open about it in her writings. 

A lot of her work only became available after her death. It does make you think...

Bjork

So every once in a while I decide to change the wallpaper on my phone. This might be quite a common practice.

The cover of her album Post to be more precise.  So far I can say it has done wonders And I believe it was not a random decision, but a declaration of principal. She is my spirit animal. I am determined to channel her creative energy this 2026. I look at her face on my phone telling me to get going, to make it happen.
