The Tailor of Winds
He stitched storms into silk and sold the sky by the yard.
In a seaside town where the wind never stopped, a man named Harun was known for his impossible cloth. His fabrics shimmered like storms — lightning flashing faintly between folds.
He said he wove the wind itself. No one believed him.
But at night, children swore they heard the sound of gales trapped in his workshop, and when dawn came, his windows were rimed with clouds.
A sailor once asked him for a cloak that could carry him home no matter the distance. Harun nodded, stitched through the night, and handed him a cape that smelled like rain.
The climax: Weeks later, a gale struck the coast. When it cleared, Harun’s shop was gone — but a strange new starfish washed ashore, shaped like a folded sail.
The locals say that on stormy nights, the wind still wears Harun’s cloaks, billowing proudly across the sea.

The Astronomer’s Window
Luca lived alone in an observatory above the clouds. He’d devoted his life to studying the sky, but he’d forgotten why. Then one night, a new star appeared — faint, pulsing, and oddly shaped. The next night, another appeared beside it. Then another. Together, they began to form letters.

Is there always a change in living when hobbies change how if so?
When life is lived do we do so because we have too or do we do so because of the hobbies that are in it? When our hobbies change in life does life change in the way we live it because of the hobbies in it? Now i know that I just asked two questions back to back but they are both valid questions and really should be answered so I am going to answer them in this post. The answer to the first question is as follows, yes there is always a change in living when hobbies change because we work our lives around the hobbies that we do in them. The more we live the life that we want to live the more we are doing the hobbies that we enjoy, this can include watching our favourite show, reading, drawing the list can go on and on. As we get older for example our hobbies change because we don’t like the things that we used to like oe like other things to go along with all the other hobbies we like to use.
