Stay in the loop. Once a week I send a short email with a new piece of writing or something I’m still wrestling with. No spam. No funnels. No hype. Just words.
Hi, I’m Ela. I write about the moments that break us, the choices that rebuild us, and the strange ways we become ourselves.
It’s part psychology, part spirituality, part “what the hell just happened.” No lessons. No formulas. And I don’t pretend to have answers. I write because I’m endlessly fascinated by the strange business of being human.
