I’m Melanie Sky — an artist and writer interested in how language shapes our sense of truth, care, and culture.
This space is for slow essays about the phrases we live by — the ones that sound comforting, neutral, or wise, but often reveal something deeper about power, privilege, and social expectation.
Expect reflections on sayings like “both things can be true,” “self-care,” “toxic positivity,” and other cultural shorthand we use to make sense of complex lives.
I write at a pace that respects rest and reflection. You can subscribe for free to read along, or just drop by when a new piece appears.
