hello lovely readers! <3

i wish you a warm welcome to the inner workings of my mind, on display for you all to read and become lost in just as i have. feel free to peruse the library as you wish! i believe there is something here for everyone—poetry, prose, short stories of the gothic essence, plays/excerpts from plays, diary entries/personal anecdotes, media reviews and recommendations, recipes, interviews, advice, photography, and much more.

if you are a lover of the macabre and even find it comforting, need to constantly reassure yourself that you are no longer seventeen, believe in literature’s power to change lives/represent/amplify voices, whisper your wishes to the stars, feel deeply/cry often, and are constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something you only feel in your bones and which can only be experienced in those bones (as franz kafka wrote in a letter to milena jesenská), look no further than liv’s lovely library.

what you can expect in your inbox:

🥀 my monthly loves (returning in january of 2025!)

🥀 (hopefully) bi-weekly media reviews/recommendations/digests

🥀 excerpts of longer-form projects i am working on

🥀 anything that has inspired me/shaped me. not sure what this will look. like yet, but i am looking forward to seeing what the universe has in store for me to discover and how my instinct to share it will develop!

🥀 & more!

if you don’t mind that my writing style is in all lowercase, you should stick around!
