A curtain of you

Reading time:

1–2 minutes
This is how Thais falls asleep:

She lays on her back
between my legs as I sit on the bed
her own legs above her head

She pulls off her socks
her hands reach into my hair
forming fists

pulling me forwards
until her legs are crossed over her
resting on my chest.

She pulls my hair around her head
hands weaving –
she's casting magic
she's conducting an orchestra

She's safe within a curtain of me
she's breathing slowly
she's asleep

Hi, I’m Moodthy

I’m Moodthy— a product designer, STEM graduate, and curious person.

Here, I share personal stories and insights that explore the intersections of technology, psychology, science, and emotional health.

As am ADHD mom of a bilingual, speech-delayed child, I believe that small, compassionate or self-compassionate steps can lead to meaningful growth—far beyond the rush of hustle culture.

Let’s hang out
