The word "LOVE" written with each letter in a distinct stylized design, with the 'L' as a red heart, the 'O' as a purple heart, the 'V' as a multicolored heart, and the 'E' as a red heart

Reflections from the North.

A space for reflection and thought. Northern Musings gathers essays, journal-style articles, and personal perspectives that don’t fit neatly into any one category but always fit the spirit of the North. These are pieces meant to linger: honest, reflective, and deeply human.
