ISSUE 002: Monday Mewd | Feeling Ready Steady 🪨
Welcome to Monday Mewd, my weekly(ish) vibe check, where I share a little bit of everything I’ve been experiencing lately. Think of it as a visual journal of sorts, a fluid creative space where I mix things up—from music and photography to videos, books, movies, and everything in between. It’s a place for the things I like, the things I don’t, and everything that’s making me feel something.

I’m officially off for the holidays! I’ll be back with new personal essays and segments like this one in the New Year!
Mewd of The Week | Ready Steady 🪨
Mewd (noun) A mood, vibe, or feeling that’s uniquely personal, often expressed through creative or spontaneous means. It’s that energy you’re riding with, whether it’s a chill, carefree moment or a burst of inspiration. Mewd can capture everything from music playlists to personal style, art, and even attitude. It’s fluid, ever-changing, and deeply tied to one's state of being in the moment.
In these past two weeks, I realised I underestimated the level of resilience I’ve cultivated during this season of healing. I thought I was protecting myself, but really, I was playing small out of fear. Your intimacy with yourself deepens when you witness your own growth when you feel lightness and love in spaces that once brought you pain.❤️
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Nostalgic 📼
There’s something about December that makes me think of love. I decided that my next romantic partner would have to be someone with whom I had developed a deep friendship. For me, friendship is a precursor to intimacy. I’m surprised I didn’t realise this pattern sooner, particularly because friends to lovers is my favourite romance trope. As I flipped through my past relationship history, the relationships where there was a strong base of friendship were overall more satisfying.
HAPPENINGS: My Art Show
Yes, you read that right. My first art experience will be on December 30th at the Behind the Scenes Remix Paarty. If you’re in the Kingston area, feel free to stop by.
