Introduction

It is weird to think of writing in 2025… books and blogs are becoming obsolete in the age of social media blurbs and TikTok shorts. However, I believe that the written word could (and should) have power still, and writing is one of my passions in life. I guess I am a Renaissance woman of sorts— writer, painter, musician, and legal assistant— except art doesn’t pay the bills like it did in the age of the greats, so I slave away at a 9-5 as many of us do.

In this blog I will write various things. I cannot specify which things, seeing as I don’t know which content is preferable, but there will be substantive things, or at the very least, a notification that I am alive and well. I can’t guarantee that you will read or care, but it is important to me to put myself out there nonetheless and create art for the sake of creating it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I behold.

If you are reading this now, (you are), I have posted loads bilingual content about home and the effects of linguistics on our sense of belonging on this page for your to enjoy, as those are the substantive “things” I am currently obsessed with. I also have a page dedicated to my career, in case you want to collaborate on a piece of writing or research. So the journey continues.

Welcome, this website is your home, too. Light a cigarette, laugh along, and tell your friends.

Sincerely,

Baylie
