Between The Lines
I'm an artist learning to live creatively. Between the Lines is where I explore what it means to reconnect with yourself, protect your creativity, and craft a life that feels beautiful to you.
Between The Lines
Going Analogue
When Matteo and I spent two months in Puglia at the end of last year, living in a sleepy seaside town, we had a weekend ritual: a long walk by the sea, swimming and reading at Lo Scalo, spaghetti vongole and a spritz, a gelato along the promenade, and a movie on the couch.
Off our phones, away from the rest of the world, we could switch off. It was incredible.
I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately—less about Puglia, more about the presence we were able to cultivate there. Il dolce far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing—and how hard that is to access in the real world. A world that keeps getting faster and noisier, constantly telling us we should do more.
Should we?
More and more, I think definitely not.
This week on the pod, we talk about that. About going analogue, content fatigue, the tyranny of should, and why I forgot—then remembered—that I’m an artist.
