Hello Megs

It is a truth seldom spoken, yet universally felt, that happiness most often finds its fullest form in quiet concealment; indeed, pour vivre heureux, vivons cachés. This wisdom, though appearing to some as merely quaint or evasive, is rather an invitation to the truest contentment—to a life free from the cumbersome obligations of display. She, in her own reflective solitude, found this maxim neither idle nor antiquated, but rather a balm, a gentle urging towards a happiness unencumbered by the weight of society’s ceaseless gaze. In her solitude, where thoughts could meander without the restraint of judgment and heart could blossom without the fetters of worldly expectation, she discovered a depth of joy that neither applause nor approval could bestow—a joy composed not of spectacle but of substance, as enduring as it was unseen. In the cafe, drinking tea, dreaming, not fighting a dragon, often breaking into a run.

  • The woman of my life 

    I am a lucky girl with you in my life.  Thank you for all the goodness knows how many times in my life, when I simply dread myself or I don’t understand or I doubt or, for the most part,… more ›

  • Can we recognise that?

    Compassion, and only compassion and choosing him, and choosing love, allows all of us to feel anger, pain, frustration without taking these feelings to a dark place that bends us and those close to us out of shape. more ›

  • Rust in the panes

    One of those mornings when I wake up with the weirdest series of nightmares and am in between reality and non-reality. And waking up to read your text – why has the world reduced connections, distances and relations to just… more ›

    A more authentic choice of a floating market – Amphawa market. It was almost 2 hours (with traffic) from the city centre of Bangkok, but well worth a visit, just to see the livelihood of fresh seafood produces and possibly… more ›
