secretly, deep down

I suppose, secretly, deep down, I have always wanted to be acknowledged as an artist. One that writes. Whose life centres around creative expression. And for that expression to be validated through an energetic exchange.

In that month, I have written 4 articles for you, each including an audio recording and a guided journaling practice video at the end. They are as follows.

let yourself be loved
If you prefer, listen to the 7-minute audio recording of this story here. It’s been 1 year and 1 month since I have been intimately involved with anyone. It wasn’t an intentional decision, as such.

If you prefer, listen to the 4.5-minute audio recording of this story here. My body’s intense aversion to alarms wakes me at 4.57 am, 3 minutes before it’s about to go off. I stretch out my limbs in bed as my cat has taught me, open my eyes, and exclaim “It’s a day!” into the darkness. A secret daily prayer that translates to “Thank you life for another …

sweet, sweet release
If you prefer, listen to the 4-minute audio recording of this story here. My period is 7 days late and it is making me irate. I know it’s fine because I ovulated late and I assume I ovulated late because I had covid in my last cycle. This has thrown my 5-month record of ovulating on the new moon and bleeding on the full moon off which greatly displeases …

I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I love sharing them with you.

From now on, things will continue slightly differently.

From now on, all new articles (aside from some occasional public posts) will be for paid subscribers only. The subscription is £8 per month. This will give me the freedom for unfiltered expression for those who truly want to be a part of this kismet world for me, and offer me the privacy to honestly write about everything I want to write about.

What you will receive each month is:

  • Subscriber-only posts, incl. audio versions, guided journaling prompts or videos and the full archive of past articles.

  • You can post comments, be a part of our intimate conversations and join the ‘kismet’ community.

I am so excited to continue this adventure with you. Thank you for being here.

Thanks for reading kismet! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.
