Notes on The Self & the Universe within...
✦ ✦ ✦Welcome. This is a small corner of the internet where I can be free, allowing my fingers to retrace my mind and express my deepest, most unmasked self — writing essays, seeking to analyze the substance of my soul and the fabric of my life around it.
Ataraxii comes from ataraxia, an ancient Greek concept of serene, undisturbed calm. I spent many years seeking this state for myself, but have since come to understand that- much like everything else in this existence- it is a temporary experience and not a permanent state of being.
I'm an enigma disguised as a writer- perhaps even a poet, when I am feeling deep and pretentious enough! Hehehe. I am but a woman with a fond love of nature and a deep yearning to seek understanding of everything I possibly can.
