Happiness is a Rain Puddle Away~
There’s something deeply humbling about rain. Most of us scurry under umbrellas, race to shelter, or let the gloom sink into our moods. But rain is just water, falling freely from the sky—cleansing, nourishing, temporary. I’ve watched adults, including me, sigh at the forecast, as if raindrops were a punishment.

What overwhelmed me wasn’t just the art or the architecture, but the sheer…

This morning in Rome, as the city began to stretch awake, I wandered with no agenda. I walked with open eyes, letting the city show me what it wanted me to see.

First light in Rome ~
A few hours ago, I arrived in Rome. It’s my first time in the eternal city, and as with all firsts, there’s a kind of electric fuzziness in the air. Everything feels both vivid and dreamlike. I was welcomed into the city with a warm, animated conversation with my taxi driver, who spoke with his…
