I only know three women, and that includes one famous one, whom I would call nomads.
And no men.
Ironically, since men are usually the ones portrayed as the drifters, the minimalists, the ones who have detached themselves from material possessions, got over their past, and broke generational spells that were carried over in old memories.
And I don’t know if these three women have really done this inner-work I attribute to their lone wolf status, but that does not take away from how aspirational I find them.
How acutely aware I become of the heaviness of my diaries and notebooks mostly, but paperwork in general.
I have gone over the purpose of keeping them multiple times, and it is like intellectually I stand by it, but emotionally I don’t.
I think it must be somehow linked though to not wanting new furniture, and being thrilled with my old pieces.
They carry so many memories like who gifted it to me, on which flea market I found it, what the special occasion was to buy something new, or what I acquired because the previous tenant left them.
My bed couch has a two-meter long hammock underneath where you could theoretically store your duvet and pillows, but it is used by my cats in case of emergency.
I cut the opening a little wider, so they can still use it now that they’re fully grown.
I was afraid their bigger bodies would otherwise get stuck.
But to replace this squeaky old bed couch?
Never.
It’s my cats’ panic room.
Maybe it’s a good one for 10, 15 years from now, when I no longer have pets.
An endgame to no longer be living in this Akashic library of my life, but to be free of my old self and its remains.
Belong to the earth.
And to carry belonging in my heart.

about this series
That ONE Book is the book I always think I own, until I realize it has not been written yet. So in December 2025 I started writing it myself.
I’m going for writing 365 chapters over the course of 9 years, and then bring it to print.
