Dear god, I just looked up my resolutions for this year and I swear that I wrote this list more than just a year ago. How can one year feel so long? I truly can’t wrap my head around the fact that Black Panther and Into the Spider-verse (phenomenal movie, by the way) were both released in the… Continue reading 2018 in Review, 2019 Incoming
I always tell myself that I’ll make it through summer vacation focusing on writing, but I always forget that when I am spending summer with my family, writing becomes impossible. It’s just the wrong headspace. However, now I am in the States, independent and settled into my new home, and I’m ready to recommit. At… Continue reading A Return
People always speak of the calm before a storm, as if the storm is inherently unwanted, naturally undesirable. However, I love a good storm. The flash of lights, the crack of thunder, at times I crave it. Huh, why am I writing this again? This is supposed to be an update post. Hm. Maybe it’s… Continue reading Update: April Showers, Newfound Hours
I’m really not a fan of how fast time goes by now that I’m older. God, March already… life is so short. I would have assumed I was too young to feel memento mori, but I really feel it bearing down on me. Perhaps it’s all the tragedy in the news – children younger than… Continue reading Update: Getting the Hang of Things
Last November, on one particularly sleep-deprived night, I submitted a short story of mine to a competition. It wasn’t a polished work, and I hadn’t even read it over. I wasn’t entering to try and achieve anything – I was just being sleepy and impulsive. However, to my surprise, I made it to the Quarter-Finals… Continue reading A Little Confidence
I was under the impression that my schedule this semester was freer than ever, but now I have been forced to face the unfortunate realization that I do, in fact, have physical limitations. To be blunt, I am exhausted. I got out of paying a train fare the other day because I fell asleep the instant… Continue reading Update: Burnout
I was going to make a lengthy post, but I actually am not feeling up to it right now, so instead, here’s a simple list of my resolutions this following year: Since I had such success in removing tortilla chips (and really, chips in general) from my diet, I’ve decided to try reducing some other… Continue reading 2018
By the time this post goes up, finals will have been over and I’ll probably be getting dressed up to go watch The Shape of Water, which I have been eagerly awaiting since the very first trailer. So, why am I writing this post now, when I still have finals to go? Because, by god, I… Continue reading Finals and Fatalism
I can honestly say that there are few feelings I find as satisfying as writing a good story. When the plot comes together and metaphorical ink starts to flow, I’m filled with a sense of ease. I plan to make this sensation a regular rather than a rarity this winter. In this past year, I… Continue reading Update: A Writer’s Winter
saw a post on Tumblr the other day. It read, “This Autumn, let something die,” and it was about letting go of things that have run their course. Although nature can’t seem to decide whether it’s summer or autumn yet, or if it will just skip ahead to winter, I’m going to just make the executive… Continue reading Update: Onwards
