Finding Home in Small Rituals
Lighting a candle at dusk, tending to plants, and other tiny practices that make a rented apartment feel like yours.
Home is not always four walls you own. Sometimes it is the way late afternoon light lands on the same chair, or the playlist you put on while watering plants.
I collect small rituals the way other people collect souvenirs. They are portable. They travel with me. They say: you are here now.
If you are building a life in temporary spaces, start with one quiet practice that belongs only to you.
