Dust & Ashes’ Blurbs

About me

I keep skulls on my desk so that small things stay small. This is my corner of the internet, built the way personal pages used to be: slow, strange, a little loud, and entirely mine.

I write about silence, mortality, and the quiet work of waking up. Nothing here is for sale and nothing here is trying to hold your attention. If you leave feeling a little more awake, it worked.

Who I’d like to meet

People who answer their phone and then put it down. Friends who tell the truth. Anyone who has ever sat in a quiet room and not looked away.

Issue 02 · Memento · 3 min

Visitors assume the skulls mean I am morbid. The truth runs the other way. Memento mori is not a threat. It is an invitation to spend yourself on purpose.
