A letter to the small things we cling on to in times of despair.
Dear Bow,
You’re the first thing I reach for
when I start to come undone.

Without these essentials, it will slowly shrivel up and die, even if it was once healthy and blooming. Similarly, friendships need attention, care and effort to remain strong. When these things...
January is the Monday of months. It has a talent for ruining momentum and arrives right after the most indulgent, slow moving stretch of the year.
