This week felt like a whirlwind of emotions. One moment, I’m deep in thought, brimming with ideas, and the next, all I want is to curl up on the sofa with a book, letting myself disappear into a world that isn’t mine.
On that note, here are a few things that sparked something in me this week..whether a thought, a feeling, or just a small moment of joy.
A Book I Couldn’t Put Down
Books have a way of affecting people differently. So much of it depends on how we relate to certain characters, their choices, and even where we are in our own lives at the moment we read them.
It always fascinates me how the same book can leave such different impressions. A friend gave this one three stars, while I gave it five. For me, it struck a deep chord, probably because I saw so much of myself in Circe.
I’m saving the deep dive for another day, but if you’ve ever found yourself over-giving, people-pleasing, and unsure why things aren’t working out in what you believe is your favor, give this one a go.

My Next Read
I have to say my TBR list is long, and the amount of books I have stacked up in my apartment continues to grow
YET
My friend recommended The Will of the Many and now I can’t stop thinking about how I must read it. An apology to all the books waiting in queue but what can I say.
A Thought
I saw an Instagram post that I wish I saved, it said:
Men’s hormones cycle 24 hours like the Sun and Women’s cycle 28 days like the phases of the moon.
I’ve been thinking about it all week. Isn’t it wild, yet deeply fascinating, how much we mirror the universe? It feels as though we’re connected to something much larger than ourselves, that we are more aligned with the rhythms of nature than we realize ..
or maybe most of us already have realized this but we just need these small reminders
Dreams & Bacon
Ever have one of those moments where something in your day reminds you of a dream you had?
I took a bite of my favorite morning wrap, and suddenly, I remembered dreaming about bacon the night before. Why it matters, I’m not sure.
But it’s so bizarre how we can forget our dreams and then something like this happens, and you start questioning if you were eating a plate of bacon yesterday (I wasn’t).
Whenever I have an odd dream, I love to dissect it or ask ChatGPT what it could mean.
I went through a phase where I would constantly dream the same thing (it’s a bit too strange to get into, but it involved a lot of bugs) and the common theme was anxiety, which was something I was dealing with at the time.
It’s wild how often our dreams seem to mirror what we’re feeling or experiencing in our waking lives.
Maybe it’s just a reminder to slow down and reflect on what we need, even when we don’t realize it. Sometimes these small, strange moments make me pause and take a closer look at what’s going on inside.
Why bacon? Even ChatGPT isn’t sure. But it’s clear that it’s been a week of reflection for me.
