Welcome! I’m Tessa Wren—content creator, story chaser, and collector of curious lives and beautiful messes.
This blog began as a place to dig up buried backstories—the bold, bizarre, and beautifully complicated biographies that history forgot to bookmark. I write about the background characters, the nearly-famous, the brilliant but overlooked, and the wild lives that never quite made it to the bestseller lists.
But over time, this space has grown with me.
Whether I’m writing about a 1920s balloonist with a grudge or a morning ritual that helped me through burnout, this blog is where curiosity meets connection. It’s a space for deep dives, lighthearted musings, and the beautifully unexpected links between the past and the present.
So if you’re into the offbeat and overlooked, the soulful and strange, or just want to read something that doesn’t fit into neat boxes—you’re in the right place.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m so glad you’re here.
