The Mongolia diaries:
love advice and mongolian cowboys
9 days in the wilderness
no wifi
no signal
no heat
no roof
no running water
just me,
two older German women,
our Mongolian guides
(AKA real-life cowboys),
and our horses
...and all the time in the world
to learn a little about love

Between the chaos of cities, I got to spend some time with the magic of Brzezinka and the Grotowski base with @matej_matejka and so many beautiful souls.
Laughing and loving, grieving and growing, sweating and sweeping and weeping and wandering and dancing and dancing and dacing.
I hold so much gratidude for these people, for this place, for this work.

when the world feels hard, it's hard to hold onto softness. hard to hold onto joy, hard to hold onto love. but we must.
I've been back in Montreal for 3 weeks, and I'm tired. Between winter and the doom scroll and the epstein files and the murders and the "your search is AI-enhanced!", it's hard not to feel like the world is collapsing faster than ever before. And I hate to admit that the actions of a bunch of rich fucks taint my love for the world... but my dreams of hollywood feel ugly, all my friends are broke and dissilusioned and tired, no one can trust anything they see or read.
Self-love feels like a luxury, joy feels like fraud, care feels small. But this is how they get us, no?
I saw someone make two lists:
1. things I can't change/do right now.
2. things I can do right now.
Here is mine.
-make tea
-make art
-dance
-make new friends
-invite people into spaces
-build community
-try to earn money and be wise about spending it
-paint
-try not to feel guilty about having hobbies or time off
-check in on friends
-read the news
-sleep
-make tea
it feels trivial. but I'm trying to pretend it can be radical, too.

moments from Vietnam, Ha Giang Loop, 2025 ✨️
"dance, so that other people feel they have permission to dance"
to live bravely, boldy, joyfully, is infectious.

I thought I might never work again.
That if I 'take time for myself', I risk 'becoming irrelevant'... what a terrible fear-based lie!!
Now I'm back from my 6-month solo-backpacking trip, and I think being away made me a BETTER artist, a better actor. Here are some joyful tid-bits I wanted to share.
Here's to following the magic, even if it takes you across the world!

(or, the final chapter of the big trip; for now)
grateful for the reminder that I can,
in fact, come back ---
and in distorted, complicated ways,
it'll still and always feel like coming home
