Hi. So. I might as well address the elephant in the room―I’m back in college again this semester! Pursuing something that I truly (desperately) want for a change. I’m not sure if it comes as a surprise to most people, if it seems like something that just happened all of a sudden―I just wanna say… Continue reading The Road Not Taken

‘Nuage de pluie’ is French for ‘Rain Cloud’
…a.k.a. A Long, Self-Absorbed Essay On Names. So this is probably quite inconsequential, but everything about my life in my twenties so far has been about self-discovery, and the endless nights I’ve had questioning myself over and over, “Who am I? Do I like who I am? Who do I want to be?” have inevitably… Continue reading ‘Nuage de pluie’ is French for ‘Rain Cloud’
Journal Excerpt: Bones and Muscles and Skin
Re-reading anything Maggie Stiefvater triggers dark, dark thoughts. March 14th, 2015. It’s like the whole thing has been forgotten, brushed under the rug, like it somehow did not actually happen, and I am feeling a plethora of emotions I can’t even name, but primarily—I’m angry. At myself, mostly, because it’s my own fault for continually… Continue reading Journal Excerpt: Bones and Muscles and Skin
#BestBooksOf2014
So! 2014 has been a pretty good year for my bookshelf, and I’m glad to say I smashed the goals I set at the start of the year: Initially, 50 new reads (and 50 re-reads, total: 100), which I then upped to 60 when I got to 50 too early in the year, and finally… Continue reading #BestBooksOf2014
15 Things 2014 Has Taught Me
Happy new year, guys! So. Um. This should have been a year-ender post, but I was rarely home during the last days of 2014 so I didn’t have time to sit down and post anything longer than 140 characters. I thankfully got granted a few days leave from work and so I got to spend… Continue reading 15 Things 2014 Has Taught Me
Throwback: Cowardly
Originally posted on October 4, 2013. More good old Med school drama! Yay! (Fake enthusiasm! Whoop!) May 14, 2013 I keep having to remind myself that I’m always around a person who is pregnant. PREGNANT. Having a baby in a few months’ time. An actual baby. It’s so surreal. Maybe a lot of this disbelief… Continue reading Throwback: Cowardly
MCMLXXXIX
So. Of course I have to begin this with a disclaimer: This is a post of my thoughts on Taylor Swift’s 1989 album, and you do not have to read it if you do not want to. It’s more for a couple of people – or maybe just one person who asked more than once —… Continue reading MCMLXXXIX
Lag Phase
Well am I completely sucking at this blogging thing or what? Honesty hour: I’m stuck. That’s really been life lately for me — knees-deep-in-quicksand stuck. Which is, of course, sad and frustrating, and actually that perfectly sums up the tone of every freaking writing piece I’ve come up with for months now: Sad and frustrated.… Continue reading Lag Phase
Burning and Keeping
New category: Notes. For, well, typed-up stuff on my iPhone’s Notes app (which is probs my most used app, to be honest) that I dare publish. Here’s one… I was throwing away years-old junk from my drawers. Papers from school, mostly. My writing, mostly. Then I found a love letter. It was a crumpled sheet… Continue reading Burning and Keeping
Tonight I’m Gonna Dance For All That We’ve Been Through
Fair warning: This is a Taylor Swift post. I mean, I kind of made a resolution not to be super fangirly on this blog anymore, but look, I’m not gonna lie, everything is Taylor Swift right now. She just announced a whole bunch of new music-related stuff a couple of days ago, a thing that… Continue reading Tonight I’m Gonna Dance For All That We’ve Been Through
