25.10.02목 [tmrw day] Sometimes I leave reminders in my calendar app I forget about, even when they become irrelevant, and today is such day. During the thick of the pandemic, the sky felt open and so I connected with ACN friends online and wrote and talked music with fellow Asian creative folks. One exciting first project was the release of the song “tmrw” alongside two friends I still chat with today. Fast forward and we all have different stories to tell years later. Still, this calendar reminder feels like proof of my hope but also the fact that I did it 🐳 Am slowly fiddling with music again thanks to the local library and piecing together writing for my blog that has been a bit too quiet. It does feel like a constant battle of me vs myself in putting things out there but! I trust that it’ll be rewarding once I push through. On another note, I’m now back in America and am writing my way through that change as well. It’s all a lot !! But I am trusting that with work and the power of friendship, it’ll all be okay 💙

25.08.03일 [undercooked rice] put together a blog post that is mostly me sharing how life has been and trying to write again summer so far is lots of heat, complaining about it, but also finding little delights along the way like cold drinks, jazz, and used bookstores (also I did write a post early July but felt annoyed to promote it whoops so here’s a snippet of that too! shout out to Owen Wilson for inspiring the post) link in bio to read about why I used microwaved rice as a metaphor!! (then again anything and everything is metaphor heheheheh) 🍚
