Some truths belong into candle light with a cup of tea, boiling hot and with sugar.
Yes, witches need their sugar.
And we’re not sorry.
“When do you accept that you don’t always know the consequences of things”, my witch giggles, and as I scoff offended, the light dances and flickers.
Of course I am aware of the consequences of things!
That is one grown up way of thinking I would actually give myself credit for.

My witch passionately shakes her head and her curly hair flies everywhere.

“Let’s hope for the best with everyday”, my witch giggles into my ear.

It’s this state of the world that keeps burning into the skin like a nervous flickering – and suddenly you’ve bought frog legs from the weirdo at the end of the road, while your neighbour was hanged for a miscarriage 20 years ago. Let’s name…
Keeping the connection – About taking the next step
I remember standing on the same field where I spent most of the past unnerving months. Listening to the same three accords throughout a song reminded me of time passing, of the feeling of spending time with people while doing something special together. Studying for an exam, rehearsing a song, going on a trip -…
