For the quiet girl.
Hinhin is an ode to the secret world born from introspection, from embracing and exploring your passions from within. Unfettered by noise, you discover the beauty, strength, and whimsy of your own imagination and memory. You begin to celebrate your own voice and vision, as you realize you don't need to conform to be heard.
With graceful resilience, you begin to write your own story, forge your own path, and create your own quiet revolution.
Stories that help unearth the treasure hidden within.
A delightful mishmash of everything we love.
How Are You?
How are you? Because even introverts thrive in connection and community, this poem by Pierra Calasanz-Labrador offers a “virtual hand to hold” in these uncertain times. Be well, Hinhin girls.
