About
Hi, I'm Jessica. I’m a 20-something student and writer. I'm ISFJ. I'm currently studying international studies and history in my hometown, Melbourne.

I started this blog in 2008 while listening to Cole Porter. I like poetry, pasta puttanesca, make up, feminism, chillwave, monopoly, and soft cheeses. When I'm not blogging here, I am a freelance editor/copywriter living off money from retail.

For now, I'm here to misbehave.

Scaffolding

by Seamus Heaney

Masons, when they start upon a building, 
Are careful to test out the scaffolding;

Make sure that planks won’t slip at busy points,
Secure all ladders, tighten bolted joints.

And yet all this comes down when the job’s done
Showing off the walls of sure and solid stone,

So if, my dear,there sometimes seem to be
Old bridges breaking between you and me

Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall
Confident that we have built our own wall.
