Storytime: My Boyfriend Cheated on Me
I’m not currently holding a grudge against anyone or anything. Holding onto negative emotions exhausts me, so I try to forget about the people who have angered or hurt me. But I did—rightfully—hold a huge grudge against my ex after he cheated on me. So, I guess this is story time. Spoiler: I stayed with…

Exhausted to Excited
Right now, I’m feeling tired and burnt out. Fortunately, the exhaustion is more physical than mental. When I’m feeling mentally exhausted it takes longer to recover, but I think all I need for now is some rest over the weekend. I need a day to just stay home and recharge.

How Acupressure Slippers Improved My Sleep
I have a pair of shoes embedded with sharp rocks. As painful as they may look, I can’t go a day without them. Every night before bed, I slip them on and proceed with my nighttime skincare routine or chores. This routine takes about twenty minutes, but it has dramatically improved my sleep. A few…

I miss my grandfather so much these days. The relationship I had with him was very special.He was my father figure. He showed me support and encouragement without even having to say much. He believed in me, and although he was nearly deaf, I always felt that he could hear me in a way no…

Good
There’s a word that I’ll encounter at least a dozen times a day when I’m teaching writing classes – the word ‘good.’ While English isn’t the first language for the students I teach, I don’t think the over usage of the word ‘good’ is a matter of language proficiency. I think students are encouraged to…

The past few weeks were filled with events I wanted to document, but I was too lazy to actually write a post. I was looking through my photo album, and it was funny to see how everything seemed like a distant memory even though they had happened less than a month ago. So, here’s a…

Feet on the Ground
The reason I ever feel anxious or scared is usually rooted in the fear of the unknown. The inability to anticipate what comes next is overwhelming, and I used to try to put my mind somewhere else, so I can ignore or numb out the nervousness. But I realized that can only be done to…

A Love for Olive Green
Recently, I was doing some online window shopping, and was so intrigued with all the colorful and pretty water bottles. Particularly, there are so many different colors of Stanley tumblers. But when I was shopping for mine, there weren’t many options. I think there was a black one and an army green one, and the…
