106,299 Reasons to Keep Creating

August ended with 106,299 views on Glow.

Six figures.

There is something a little surreal about typing that number, especially when I think about what a view actually represents.

Somewhere, someone opened a page.

Maybe she came looking for an answer. Maybe a photograph caught her eye. Maybe she was curious about something I bought, wore, tried, made, or thought about. Maybe she read one piece and wandered into another.

And somehow, all those small moments added up to 106,299.

What makes August even more special to me is seeing just how far Glow traveled.

To everyone reading from the United States, Norway, Seychelles, Brazil, Germany, Singapore, India, Vietnam, France, and Pakistan, thank you. These were Glow’s ten biggest countries for the month, and seeing places thousands of kilometers apart gathered together on one little analytics page never stops feeling remarkable.

And to everyone reading from everywhere else, including my quiet readers here in the Philippines, thank you too. 🤍

Glow has become something I couldn’t have quite named when I first began writing again.

Part magazine.
Part diary.
Part atelier.

A place for beauty and clothes and little luxuries, yes, but also thoughts, experiments, paintings, ordinary afternoons, things I’m learning, things I’m questioning, and pieces of a life being lived while I write about it.

And somehow, you keep coming back to see what I leave here next.

106,299 reasons to keep creating.

Thank you for reading.
Thank you for wandering through these pages.
Thank you for making this strange, beautiful little corner of the internet feel much bigger than its walls.

Here’s to wherever we wander next. 🤍
