for the first time, again is a weekly love letter to the books, films, shows, and music that find their way into my life; and the old loves i keep coming back to.
every week, i talk about the things that made me feel something. books i drifted into, shows that blew me away, songs on loop for days, or even weird disappointments i just can’t stop picking apart. somewhere in there, i’ll probably catch you up on life too.
because sometimes a story just finds you right when you need it, and you get to meet yourself…
for the first time, again.

and just like that, season 2 is officially wrapped and stored in the archives ✨
for this finale, ftfta gets a little more personal. i handed the mic over to some of my favorite humans, internet besties and listeners to hear about the books, movies, shows and music that stayed with them this year.
the result is a collection of comfort, nostalgia, grief, hope, discovery, and a few stories that might stay with you too.
thank you for being here for season 2. truly. i’ll see you next season 🤍

a stream of consciousness…
a little check in because this week did not quite go according to plan.
i read three books, finally got around to closer by david ellis, discovered that the confidence of wildflowers was very much not for me, went to see spider man: brand new day, developed several thoughts about tom holland, zendaya and sadie, and experienced my first ever “what i ordered vs. what i got” hair situation.
somewhere in all of that, i ended up thinking about what ftfta is really about for me: figuring out what makes me feel something, whether it comes from a book, a movie, a show, a song, or just an ordinary week.
episode 11. just a little stream of consciousness before the finale

36 hours, two shows, and a ghosting
this week was a lot. i binged maximum pleasure guaranteed on apple tv in 36 hours, tapped out on sterling point, made it 40% through a book about lagos chaos, and somehow got ghosted by a book prefect?
bonus: i’m sleep deprived, juggling new work and somehow still here.
plus: something exciting’s coming soon🫶
tune in for the tea✨
