hi, friends. I hope you have been taking care of yourselves. we are one week into the fourth month of the year, and things have been going in seventeen different directions. that said, I've been meaning to start some conversations. note before I begin: some conversations take the form of a rant or a "worried [...]
hey, friends. we made it; we're nine years old. this year sure was full of new experiences—some of them marvelous and others quite upsetting (but I will not really get into the latter). I started my phd, I taught lab to college students (keeping in mind that the course was completely new to me), I [...]
I don’t know about you, but September strongly kicked my butt with all the work issues it brought along. I also reckon that the drama and negative emotions that also sprouted this month rendered the load on my shoulders even heavier. you see, not only was I struggling with my experiments, but I was also [...]
it's better not to: - know- ask- look someone in the eyes- make something your responsibility - send that text- try to decipher what is really happening all you really need is to:- cry- grab a coffee with friends- turn off your phone- mute or unfollow them- say that you'll call them later when you [...]
one time as I was scrolling through instagram, I came across a post that said something along the lines of "have you ever thought of all the stories that you are a part of?" while the original post took a different direction, it made me stop and think of all the beautiful stories that we [...]
the internet is absolutely obsessed with labels and categories. minimalist, maximalist, liberal, conservative, sustainable, fast-living, healthy, unhealthy, that girl, [something]-core, and the list goes on. however, I am pleased to see that commentary youtube is tapping on the subject and approaching it in a logical manner. aaaaand I also do have something to say (would [...]
I have reached a point in my life online where only a few things now impress or captivate me. I don't know if it's the repeated, endless, and mindless scrolling I've caught myself succumbing to lately, but my state of "unimpression" as I go through my socials has been progressively and steadily growing. funny enough, [...]
hi friends, I had initially hoped that my I-need-a-break-from-wordpress phase would be a revolutionary one-year hiatus, but as more days rapidly go by, I feel a little more inspired to share some thoughts and updates. long post ahead moving abroad & experiencing love in numerous forms a few years ago, I published (and re-archived) a [...]
hi. lately i've been seeking to have more honest conversations. I reckon that, amidst the chaos of every-day life, we do not always have the capacity to engage in honest—potentially vulnerable—exchanges with others. so, here it goes... I've been blogging for the past eight years, and every few years or so, I decide to dive [...]
it's insane how your own mind can make you feel. [pause tape scratch] i am currently in my office; in the last week, i've managed to arrive 30 to 60 mins later than everyone else. a past version of me would've possibly worried excessively over arriving late, as i am—97% of the time—punctual. however, i [...]
