Dear person-reading-this,
Things are really hectic right now. Hours, days, weeks, months, you can’t really tell where one ends and the next begins. There’s too much electricity in the atmosphere, every moment charged with a palpable tension. It’s a lot of stimuli to take in. It’s not seeming to slow … Continue Reading
“What is life, what is love?
Are you at your best, have you settled well?”
Dear me at twelve,
I assure you, I don’t know just as yet
All the risks you take:

I get it; you’re an idealist. You were living in a world … Continue Reading
Dear Hermione,
Today you turn 41 years old. The world sees you as the Minister of Magic. But to me, you are not a day older than 11, and to me, you will always be the one who taught me that it’s LeviOsa, not LeviosAR.
I was introduced … Continue Reading
Dear Katniss,
How are you? How is life in the new District 12? Do people still look in awe at the ‘Girl on Fire’? Did you name your son after your father? Does Haymitch still find solace in alcohol and Peeta in his paintings? And have you found your … Continue Reading
