pfeeew... i don't even know where to begin. it has been a wild half a year!i feel i haven't reflected enough in this episode but i was running out of time, but this season has been so special to me! i don't know how to explain it but season one was more of me getting into the podcasting groove, whereas season two has helped come to term with a lot of things, including this latest phase of my life! a lot of thinking, reconfiguring and reconceptualising who i am, what i feel, understanding the changes and the ways everything ebbs and flows. it has been a true pleasure to have you along with me for six months!i love and adore you with everything that i have!with kind and peaceful energy,marion x🂱music - lianne la havas' bittersweet and paper thin (2021) & sabrina carpenter's exhale (2019) & julie delpy's a waltz for a nighttv show - before sunrise (1995), before sunset (2004), before midnight (2013) - starring julie delpy and ethan hawkebook - barbara's il était un piano noir (1998)

we're almost there, right when i feel like i'm getting into my groove! this episode was a lot of introspection, a lot of peace and i hope this energy influences you a bit in the rest of your week. spoiler alert, this episode is shorter, perhaps it's even longer than last one. what can i say i just love to chat! i won't get all touchy-feely just yet about how much i love you and how much this podcast means to me, i'm saving it for next week!i hope this one treats you well, i love you,marion x🂱music - sunset in the blue by melody gardot (2021), time by olivia dean (2024), let's fall in love for night 1964 by finneas (2020)tv show - medusa deluxe (2023)book - sylvia plath's the bell jar (1963)

here we are again, for our third to last episode! i wanted to reflect on my college experience, being done for at least a couple of years...i really loved my experience in college, i was able to discover myself, discover what i liked, made friends i still cherished. college helped me navigate my independance, advocating for myself! i will be forever grateful for everything that i learned, whether i cared for it or not, for all the discovery of myself, my interests starting with my thesis.i hope you're really enjoyed me yapping about my curatorial and art historical interests! with kind and peaceful energy,marion x🂱music - dire strait's in the gallery & little simz ft. obongjayar's point and kill (2021) & sabrina carpenter's all we have is love (2016)tv show - netflix' really love (2020) & grown-ish (2018-2024)book - joana joachim's black feminist curatorial practices in canada (2018) & isabelle boni-claverie's trop noire pour être française (2015) & bell hooks' teaching to transgress (1994)

pfeeeeew. this one was a very delicate one, i hope you enjoy my insights on friendships and navigating entering adulthood.even today, i am perpetually reminded that even if some friendships need to be let go of, i am perpetually surrounded by love and passion from friendships and i cherish that so deeply!so yours always, with unquantifiable love,marion x🂱music - charlotte cardin's did life work out for you?

so once again, this episode is a bit late, but i went through a whole reorganisation for my publishing schedule.anyway, we are officially back for the last few episodes, there is not even that much left in the season but i cannot wrap my mind around being done with season 2, which is not even a topic for today.this episode is a beautiful one, coming to term with ymself, my own expectations and my own limitations. i am letting go, making room for the new not in an overly positive way but rather because life waits for no one, and especially after today, being fixated on past encounters truly does not hold anything but a sad pitiful nostalgia!so with kind and peaceful energy, i hope you enjoy this week's episode!marion x🂱music - everything is everything by lauryn hill (1998), vienna by billy joel (1977), and raye's cover of feeling good by nina simone (2024)tv show - a quiet place: day one (2024) starring lupita nyong'o and joseph quinn, featuring nina simone's feeling good (1965)book - paulo coelho's the alchemist (1988)

well this one is so late...i am once again so sorry for the hiatus, to anybody who still listens! there was a lot to catch up in my life. but i am back, slowly aligning with my taks and my goals again!on a completely other subject, please enjoy this episode about love, specifically my romantic love for my partner. i hope you enjoy!i'll see you so very soon (like in a couple of days!)yours always,marion !🂱music - Varias Quexias by the Gibson (2020), Lonely with Our Love by Charlotte Cardin (2024) and Vanilla Tobbaco by Eloise (2023)movie - Anyone but You starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell (2023)book - Orion Carloto's Flux (2017)

so hi, i have sorta taken a couple of weeks hiatus... it was completely unplanned but at least, now i have planned and recorded episodes!i think i have been feeling my summertime a bit too much and have lost touch with a lot of routines, communication tools and just have been shite with keeping up.but that is okay, cause routines are perpetually ebbing and flowing, and the only constant is that routines will get thrown away and picked up again!so i hope you can still enjoy this episode, albeit a couple weeks late!with loving energy,marion x🂱music - role model's kansas anymore (2024): writing's on the wall, look at that woman, the dinner, deeply still in love, slut era interlude, compromise and something, somehow, somedaytv show or movie - Twisters (2024) starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramosbook - Sanaya Roman's Living With Joy (2011)

finally sorta did a short and sweet episode! i feel like i stayed too much on the surface, but i hope you can appreciate some of my weird thoughts here and there!i did catch my train and finish everyhting on time! all is well, and hopefully i can carry this energy into the upcoming days!i love you, i hope you feel seen and desired today!marion x🂱music - Clairo's Sexy ot Someone (2024)tv show - The Watchers (2024) & The Creator (2023)book - Olivie Blake's Alone with You in the Ether (2020)
