Hello fellow muses!

Did I just cut my bleached hair strands off because they’ve been bothering me for months and now I am slightly regretting it? Yes, yes I am. This is what jet lag does to you. Low impulse control. I should have known and hid all scissors, but the problem is I didn’t, I just looked in the mirror 5 seconds too long. Anyway, definitely a thing I did NOT love this week. And will probably continue to not love until the hair grows back…

felt like an accurate excerpt from Things That Are Different Now x

Besides that little drama, things are actually really good right now. I am getting more and more excited every day because my book launches so soon now and I really want to know what people think. Besides the fact that Lisa Krusche one of my favourite German essayists wrote the afterword for it -which brought me to tears – I have no idea yet how my words will land with you.

It feels weird to finally finish the trilogy, to end this chapter.

This week another thing ended: my time in Mexico. And so most of the things I am recommending this week have to do with that, the passage of time, things I’ve been re-watching.

For those of you, who are new here – this – is a weekly account of things I have loved with recommendations, personal insights and general life advice – it’s the secret muse club house – for the lovely people who hold up The Muse Letter and support my writing.

Thanks so much for being here!
