FINAL WARNING

My blog has moved here. No more posts on With My Head in the Clouds. x

calling all followers!

Just in case you missed my previous post, I've now shut down this blog. Find my current blog here.

a final goodbye...

... to this blog.

Yes, the time has come.

But fear not, dear friends. This blog contains two years' worth of my drabbles, and I will not throw all that to waste. So once I post this entry I'll put up a header directing you to my new blog. Then I'll turn off comments (so all your shock should be expressed at my new blog instead of being posted here). This blog will remain online for the unforeseeable future, as a bit of a nostalgia kick for me, mainly.

Why a new blog, you ask. Quite simply because I feel as though I'm dragging along two years of my past every time I post here. I need a change. (More reasons in the first post at my new blog.)

I look forward to seeing you at Everything Brighter!

x and forever yours, Iida

Something scribbled into my notebook last night.

a visual letter / a wordless promise

storytelling

I dreamt of a house last night, a house with paned windows and tiny stairways and shadows slowdancing on the floor. I knew I was dreaming but it felt like a home.

I've been reading Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. This is the final passage I read last night before falling asleep:

Work stops at sunset. Darkness falls over the building site. The sky is filled with stars. "There is the blueprint," they say.
