About
i am too free. too free and this energy should be channelled to thinking. deeper thinking. and DOING. more doing. i can’t just be. there is a world out there waiting. I’m seizing it.

the days pass like a gale—fast, and somewhat unpleasant. how do i capture a feeling in the breeze… in the body… what can i concretely do. what shall i do. i have to let it go. and find something new to come to pass… catch something on the wind…

We are w. and y., two Singaporeans making a life, making multiple lives from two ends of the world. We offer a raw, imperfect, unpolished version of this working through of life. How do we question selfhood and purpose and the way we move through the world? What do we have to do to build a better world from the personal level? What change can we begin to excavate?
This is a site for community and consolidation. We release new issues monthly, revolving around a theme. When you subscribe, you receive a monthly email when our latest issue is published. You’re invited to engage and share your views and your half-formed thoughts. So much possibility and beauty lives in half-formed thought, of starting to think with and through one another.
Why this, why now?
We believe that there is so much value in looking inwards and reflecting on how we move through life, both as individuals and as a society. In an era where efficiency, comfort, and success are prioritised, a narrow script for how to live has become the main baseline that we are told to chase. But what do we really want? What possibilities exist for the way we think, for the way we live? How do we go about realising it?
This thinking cannot stop at being a navel-gazing exercise. We do hope to think broadly about how individuals can exercise their agency and navigate societal structures to think and live for themselves, generously, graciously, and with love for their past and future and each other. But perhaps more importantly, to put that into practice. We try to bridge the gap between theory and praxis, to live our way into a new way of thinking and think into a new way of living. To introspect and act from that place. To take steps, take action. To seize and own this life. And with thinking, living, we hope to bring that to you in some way, however small. That is to say, we want to think and live with you – no matter how different our lives may be.
