TUMBLR. 

thanks for the great times. i will possibly be creating a new blog on another platform (not finalized yet), so this one will no longer be active.

in the meantime, i will also be closing both my shops (storenvy and depop) by this upcoming spring of 2018. please feel free to visit my shops, all profits are being transferred towards my savings for something exciting coming up.

i will only be (semi-)actively posting on my instagram if anyone would like to connect with me there.

thank you for visiting my blog and other platforms. it’s been a journey. and i am so grateful.

<3

“It’s no use thinking about it,” said the spellmaker. “We could travel west where the sun sleeps and curl fireless on the cold cliffside and still the waves will crest the hill singing: please live, please live, please live.”
