About

Hi, I’m Colby Desimone, the writer and creator of Smizok.

This space began as a way to slow down and make sense of life as it happens — the moments that change us, the small details that often go unseen, and the stories that remind us how human we really are.

Smizok isn’t about perfection or productivity. It’s about presence — noticing what’s real, learning from what’s ordinary, and finding meaning in the everyday. Here, I write about the things that make life feel both simple and strange: growth, connection, creativity, rest, and the quiet art of becoming.

I believe that a good life is built in the small choices — how we spend our mornings, how we speak to ourselves, and how we show up for what matters.

If you like reflections on mindful living, slow rhythms, and honest storytelling, welcome — you’re in the right place.
