Hello, I’m Bella. This is my digital garden :)

I see this as a place to publicly flesh out my thoughts — by doing so, I hold myself accountable for my learning and ideas. I’m currently really into comparative literature, mythology, and religion.

My philosophy toward knowledge and learning: what’s the point of consuming all this information that’s constantly thrown at me from different directions if I don’t choose what’s important to me, synthesize it, and make it my own?

Note

Highlighting a maximum of 3 priorities because I’m a chronic project starter

top of mind

Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It’s like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can’t stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship. — Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
