I’m sharing two songs today: one for the day and another for the night. A light and dark mode, if you will.
☀
“When we finally get there, will we ever leave? Will we find that all we have is all we really need?”
Sounds like summer. Salt in the air. Sweat sticking to your skin. Distant voices. Voices you don’t know. Voices from people who are trying to get away from it all just as much as you.
We went to the beach this month. The short trip felt like this song.
☾
“On this dark night when the moon isn’t bright, if I could grow brighter, grow brighter, that would be nice”
Sounds like staying in bed. Not asleep but dreaming. Craving to get some air. But the curves you’ve left in your mattress feels nice. Too nice. So you stay.
We got sick after. So I really did stay in for the past couple of days. Wish we hadn’t left the beach. Barely moving would have been better with a view. Days at home feel like this song.
PSA: SHOP RE-OPENING
A bit delayed because of the weather and how I’ve also been under the weather. But it should be open by the time this mail is sent out. I remade some designs that I’m attached to. And parts of this was shared years ago but I thought they’re worth re-sharing.
Like how the sun glows in the day and the moon glimmers in the dark, you too, will shine in your own time.
✶
These pair of pins have always been my all-time favorite merch. A lot of big things I love compacted in such a tiny little thing – skies and the cosmic, the longing to wander, the search for wonder. Believing that there is a time (and space) for everything (and everyone), but also trusting in the universe when I can never just figure it out. That maybe somewhere in between, we do get to find the balance within it all.
It’s been a good few years since I first released this and both a lot and nothing much has changed since then. Every day is just another day where I try to keep close whatever it is that fills my heart with light. Hoping it shines through. Hoping the flickers ignite enough that I can share the light. And I hope these pins help you to do (and feel) the same.

It took a while for me to remake this, despite it being the one thing that I was always asked to restock in stores. Tbh, I didn’t feel like sharing the light the past 3 years. It was just wrong to do so when I can barely ignite a spark of my own. All I had were fading flickers. I needed to be selfish for a while. I needed the light to not die. Even if that meant I had to hold it close to just myself. So thank you for patiently waiting. This pin was not an exception to having needed to wait for its own time.
Treading lightly, glowing softly,
Louise
