Heard this piano loop & thought about my existence - writing my thoughts down on my notes app in a small town called Paihia, in my own little room at 11pm. This was written on Valentine's day as a letter to myself, but now it has blossomed into a poetic reminder to the present-day Rafie that love is already here. I basically collided all that I had in my overthinking brain, and then let it all explode while seemingly letting go. 

I guess I'm tired of wrestling with the existential crisis stemming from a divorce while also having to defend my queerness. Now, it's my turn to define what love is to me. I’ve seen love in the topographies of nature and I know I can redefine what love is to me. It doesn’t have to be merely from a relationship perspective. We have plenty to love in this Earth, and plenty to love us back. That’s the message - Love Is Here.

Love Is Here

What fragments of your life make up a home? When you're moving through physical spaces & emotional faces, how do you decide that's the home you want to build with yourself, or with someone? So many question I've had with myself since making a move to Aotearoa, and now almost done with a year I can't help but think whether to be in constant motion or let foundation be built. Bricks are never fully identical, neither are the curvatures of every wall or the shades of paint, but all of them ensembled represent something protective, something more than just a physical house. The journey is arduous, full of mistakes & challenges but as long the hands are willing to try then I believe your own version of home is possible xx

Build A Home

When I hear the word Divine, I think power, strength that we draw mostly from ourselves and from the earth around us. This was a blend of electronic synth baseline mixed with ethereal harmonies that hope to evoke a sense of comfort & empowerment in your own being (plus a lil play along at the end). Come celebrate ;-)
