“Does it dance? Does it catalyze a joyful affirmation of life?” — Friedrich Nietzsche

I’m Phoemela and this is my home on the web where I share things that are important to me with whoever’s willing to visit. Like most people, I enjoy reading books and listening to music.

My family name, Ballaran, is the third-person plural future tense of the Catalan word ballar (to dance) and translates as “they will dance.” Com ballar means “how to dance.”

I sometimes broadcast my pressing thoughts on Instagram, but these days I mostly spend a portion of my leisure time on Tumblr and Are.na.

Feel free to explore the space while I get you some tea—I’ll be right back.
