Plus some other various… Continue reading April | pictures, writings, and little thoughts

As a formal-ish introduction, Kailey is… Continue reading In which I interview a very good friend | collab with listening to the sky
Hullo all and welcome to what will most likely be a sprawling post with plenty of pictures and vague ideas to go around. Prepare yourselves properly.
