      • summer solstice, slow-paced days that feel like eternity

        listening to shower vinyl by danny scott (again, I’m a creature of habit). my hair is air drying in the summer morning wind with the faint scent of green tea and ylang ylang, drinking a creamy cold oat milk latte. at 9 am, the temperature i

          hello, I am tired. part of me looks skeptically at the situation and thinks, “you know, I’m not really burnt out, maybe I am just being lazy or weak.” but after days of sleeping and trying to overcome this feeling, I think it is really true

          likes, dislikes, and hidden dimensions of the asian-american cultural experience

          this morning I woke up swallowed by dislikes. everything felt off since the moment I was shaken awake from my unconscious dream state by the penetrating sound of construction at seven thirty in the morning. the color of the sky was off, air
