MT. MAYON : THE STORY OF BEAUTY AND DESTRUCTION
MT. MAYON : THE STORY OF BEAUTY AND DESTRUCTION

In many ways, love is like Mt. Mayon.
It gives us moments of unadulterated bliss—the joy of being seen, of slowly discovering another person, of being known and held in return. It stands tall and magnificent in our lives, filling us with wonder and gratitude. But love, like Mayon, is also capable of stirring the ground beneath us. It reminds us of our vulnerability. Just as Mayon can erupt without warning, love, too, can break us open, leaving behind ruins, silence, and ache.

Hi Friends!

I’m Suzette,

welcome to my little corner of the internet. Whether it’s fate or coincidence that brought you here, I like to imagine there’s a tiny invisible string connecting us. 😉

Pages & Paths is my space to simply exist, create, and express. It’s where I pour the parts of me I used to keep bottled up — the quiet thoughts, the reflections, the stories, the places I wander to, and the moments I’m still trying to understand.

I’m a solo dweller, an overthinker, a journal keeper, and someone who has always felt more at home with written words than spoken ones. When I’m not working, I’m either reading, sleeping, doomscrolling (sadly), or playing with my dog. On lucky days, you’ll find me by the sea — my favorite escape.

If you love slow days, honest thoughts, and finding beauty in the ordinary, I hope you’ll feel at home here.
