You’ve just landed on Unsolicited Existence aka what most people call Life. My name is Alejandra Smits. I’m 30 years old. Also, I’m a mom. But above everything, I have this compulsion: I write.

This is a biweekly newsletter.
1. A weekly essay is out on Thursdays. Occasionally, in the form of a video essay.
2. Home Affairs, where I log impressions of daily, minuscule things I discover and ponder while being home, will reach your inbox every Sunday.

I’m not saying these essays and letters will change your perspective on life. But they just might.
