Welcome to Perpetual Draft, a space for my creative exploration & musings. I like to write about various topics, depending on my current mood & what's on ...
Hey there, Remember when I said I started learning how to crochet? Well, after 10 days of practice I can proudly say I finished my first project: a Kindle cover! (Side note: I originally wrote that post on July 10, but I'm only editing/finishing it now.) It's imperfect; a bit wonky, a bit too tight and missing the finishing touch but after 2h30 of crochet last night, there it was. My Kindle fits…
Hello cubs ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ, The title says it all: I started learning crochet yesterday. After thinking about it all weekend, looking at tutorials and dozens of aesthetic Instagram accounts, I thought "Why not try?". Yesterday afternoon, I went to buy a few crochet hooks of different sizes and 2 balls of yarn. Unfortunately I don't think I chose them very well, as they're both acrylic, and I find it to be a…
Hello beautiful people, I hope you are all doing well. Felt compelled to write a little bit tonight, so let's see where my fingers take us. As usual, I like to write intuitively and not over-edit or think it through too much. You probably noticed if you've read a few of my posts. Anyway, lately I've been feeling lost. Which is funny, in an ironic way, because 10 years ago I was feeling the exact…
Hello dear reader, I wanted to reflect on the fact that this month, June, marks the 10-years anniversary of a choice that has changed a lot in my life. 10 years ago, after hosting a vegetarian guy (through Couchsurfing) for a few days in May, I decided to dive a little bit into the ethics and behind-the-scene of animal products production. One hour-long video was enough for me to say goodbye…
Every now and then, I fantasize about going analog. Unfortunately, this choice is not an easy one to make. Mostly because I have an emotional attachment to social media platforms and some SaaS (they hold memories, help me stay in touch with my friends and family as an immigrant/expat, they make my life convenient etc). But also because it's been so many years of compounded use, that it ties into…
Hello little cubs! 🧸 How have you been? On my end, I've been a busy bee lately. I've been wanting to blog for quite some time but I've struggled to find some quiet time to sit down & write. So, exceptionally, I'm writing a post just for a quick update. April so far has been really nice. The weather has been incredible (we even had a proper summer week, which is a bit scary given how early it is,…
Hello! This year I naturally came back to reading more books, something I have been wanting to do for a couple of years but was not very consistent with. I want to track my reading list this year, and what better way than a blog post to share my thoughts as well? Note: This blog post will be updated as I progress. Last edit: August 2. Finished The mountain is you by Brianna Wiest . Interesting…
It's been 6 months since I've received the diagnostic that changed how I view my future: a Chiari type 1 malformation , and syringomyelia . At first, I had a lot of very conflicting emotions: I felt validated and seen, but I also started feeling anxious about what it meant going forward. Even though it's not deadly, it can get pretty serious and in some cases lead to becoming paralysed and/or…
Hello beautiful people! ☀️ I just want to take a quick moment to celebrate my completion of moving my blog over from Stomod to Bear. While I also really enjoyed Stomod, it looks like the project is no longer quite up to date. After a little bit of research, I found Bear and decided to go all in. I've officially moved all my previous posts, created the About, Now and Projects pages and added my…
In a few words ✍️ Hello and thank you for joining me for yet another annual review! ✨ It’s an exercise I’ve done for a couple of years now, and it’s always fun and interesting to go through this introspection time. As usual, I like to read the previous year’s review. And it just reminded me how rough 2024 was. You can read about it here . I feel like overall, 2025 was much more dull, plain but…
