Tender, reflective and cathartic, while we’re here is a deeply personal yet universally relatable collection. My favourites are page 167 and 193."

“you’re my 1am thoughts. the spaces between my fingers. the laughter that lives on the tip of my tongue now. eyepiece. umbrella. shield. sugar in my tea. i’m a wanderer and you’re woodlands. a summer thunderstorm quenching the drought in this arid, dusty sea of red earth. because that’s the thing. without meaning to, you’ve become my favourite things about breathing when my lungs feel like giving out. — without meaning to”
