✶Under the Fig Treeˊˎ-

Welcome to this small corner of the internet that i call home! Here you'll find words- sometimes lots of them, and knick-knacks that i'll keep adding on the go. After spiraling over what to name this site, i ironically chose one inspired by Sylvia Plath's fig tree analogy. It is a metaphor for choice: every fig is a different possiblility, and as you hesitate, they rot and fall away — until you’re left with nothing but the fear of having chosen nothing at all.

This dilemma seems to lie at the heart of existential crisis for many, including me. Perhaps, worry cannot accompany us in the pursuit of everything so, this is my small but significant act of choosing. Wishing you a fulfilling year ahead!☺︎
