Au revoir

This blog represents my writing from age 24 to 28.

I’m 29 now. And I feel like… it’s time. (For what? Not time to say, yet 😛 )

I may come back to Katelade eventually, but for now, it has served its purpose—as a thing that inspired me to actually write.

So, I’m bidding goodbye to this blog. Yep—this feels right.

I’ll just imagine you waving goodbye.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight. ❤

The short answer is winters—people who belong to one of the three winter color seasons.

In fact, this is an easy way to test if you’re a winter:

Do you look more alive in red, white, and black?
