Hello, my sweet friends, A few nights ago I watched an Instagram reel of someone reading their favorite quotes from White Nights by Dostoevsky, and some of the quotes have been living rent-free in my mind since then. So to continue my “lovelorn and nobody knows” energy, I decided to break my own heart and…

My Movie Soundtrack and My Rose-Colored Glasses
Greetings my kindhearted and sweet friends, I guess the motivation to blog has just been hitting recently – I think I’ve just been a little bit happier, who knows. But I’ve mostly been focusing on the small joys (shameless plug to my last post!) Today was one of those Saturdays that feel like Sundays, in…
Flights and Daydreaming
Cue “open your eyes (to love)” by LMNT Hello angels, Today I’m flying back from Seattle back to DC and you all know how much I love flying and airports. But today especially, I am flying in #PremiumEconomy on Alaska Airlines (highly recommend – extra legroom and free wine/beer/cocktails on flights over 350 miles. (This…
28 on 28th
So I went into 2023 thinking it’ll be the best year, but I gotta say, so far it’s kinda kicking my ass. Right before new year’s started, I did a tarot reading with my bestie and personal tarot card reader, Divya. And I asked what 2023 will be like in a nutshell. I was excited…
Valentine’s Day Twenty Twenty Three
Cheers babe!! It’s Valentine’s day again 🙂 So the first obligatory thing I’m going to point out is my previous Valentine’s posts: see 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022. So as you all know, I’m very big on self-care on Valentine’s day. You all are free to read the old posts to understand my complicated feelings about this holiday,…
To Do Item for Week 2: Check in on loved ones
Hello hello rockstars, It is 8:46 p.m. right now, and I’m pretty much going to post as soon as I finish writing. Maybe if I actually posted at a consistent time then people would follow me and pay attention to the things I say… Alas, what is this blog besides a glorified journal, anyway? The…
Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home
Hello rockstars, This blog post should have been called “The World of Harry Potter: Child’s Dream or Oppressive Police State” because it’s the original title of the blog post I was going to write with my dear friend Shane. I got the news earlier this week that Shane is no longer with us. I wanted…
A passing side character in someone else’s life
Hello everyone 🙂 This is also not a travel blog post, sorrrry. But those of you that read my most recent post, learned that I just started volunteering at the Strathmore Music Center. I’d been going to the Strathmore for years as a kid – for festivals, for outdoor movies, and for music performances. In…
Middle of the Night Thoughts
Hello rockstars, Right now, it is 1:46am on November 4, 2022. I’m going to skip through the “wow it’s been so long” commentary and go straight to the point! I was reading this book, “The Island of Missing Trees” through recommendation by my lovely mom, and so far, I love the writing style and I’m…
Lessons in Chemistry = Lessons in Life
It’s a rare feeling – to be so engrossed in something that you want to keep it going, but all the while being heartbroken because you know that when it’s over, you’ll be devastated. Recently I caught covid – for which I am still recovering – so it was my time to quarantine in a…
