A collage titled: “Love Thy Stranger: Whispering of the Heart, Night Windows, and Storytelling,” with text beneath reading “Whisper of the Heart shows the mundane for exactly what it is, and insists upon seeing the beauty in it, from its very first scene.” A smaller subtitle reads “Read for free on Medium ⭐️ Link in bio.” The venture of the graphic includes a screen cap from Whisper of the Heart, featuring a girl grasping something brightly glowing in her hands, spots of colour leaking out between her fingers. The graphic is decorated with cutout style photographs of Japanese stamps, a full moon, star string lights, a moth, a bicycle wheel, a page of sheet music, a cat tail, and a borrower’s card from a library book.
New year, new #Medium piece! This one is about the opening of my favourite #Ghibli film, peering into strangers’ windows at night, and speculating about strangers as the basis of #storytelling…

Square graphic titled “Unsolicited Writing Advice #001.” On a tan paper-texture background, a cream rectangle is taped at the top corners with brown tape. In the center is a Natalie Goldberg quote in green handwriting-style font about egoless expression and “riding the waves of human consciousness.” At the bottom it’s credited in green type: “Writing Down the Bones – Natalie Goldberg.”
Unsolicited Writing Advice #001 ✏️
Egoless doesn’t mean "without personality". It means letting the current of experience carry the piece instead of your performance of self.

You will never feel like a writer if you let others decide if you are or not.
Don’t let anyone else define you.
You are a writer.
