Hi friends!
I skipped my letter to you on Day 5 because frankly I felt a little burnt out after 4 long-form essays. Having gotten some rest, read more, eaten more good food, I’m feeling a little more rejuvenated!
Today I wanted to share with you some free poems I had written in my journal while I was practicing how to write poetry in English.
I love free poems because it allows me to experiment with the most open and unconstraint form of self-expression. I find it super difficult though, but here goes something!

do fools chase dreams,
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
or do dreams invite us in? --
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
in this dream, I exist.
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
a tree stands,
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
evergreen,
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
under it, I rest.

your hand appears, warm, tightly clasped in mine.

do dreams let us in, or do we chase their distant glow?
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
do we dive deep by choice, or get swept in their flow?
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
if dreams are reflections of our thoughts and fears,
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
what is it are we looking for,
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
in these silent, private spheres?
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

maybe the answer isn't in the chase or the invitation,
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
but in shared moments under the evergreen,
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
a quiet affirmation,
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
that in dreams and when awake, it's love that we find,
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
the warmth of your hand, firmly held in mine.

Just recently discovered Laufey’s music! Particularly adored this song “I Wish You Love“
Started watching Succession after hearing so many buzz about it and the fact that it just ended. This tweet has me dead:
Discovered a super cute Montreal comic made by a Montreal lover. I’m floored by how adorable it is!
Interesting piece on how to (not) view AI art by Amanda Wong from Reboot! I thought this adds a great perspective among many takes on AI art out there.
Thanks so much for reading! See you tomorrow! :”)
