Some nights I feel like floorboards… and that’s kind of it. I miss the warmth,the sun making its way across my surface. Now it just feels like I shy away and recede into myself — finding comfort in the shade where I keep my eyes shut. My hands on my own shoulders and my spine […]
Some of my favorite times of the day include the late evenings when I check up on my fuchsia tree. Through countless times of grieving, I’m always reminded that the best way to get over a loss is to buy a potted plant and tend to it. The idea is that, by owning something that […]
Kicking off with my first trip of the summer, right after spring quarter — even though it’s actually a business trip hahaha. The drive over to Lake Chelan was as lovely as it’s always been, and three hours felt like nothing watching the scenery pass me by. We finally arrived around 4PM or so, checked […]
My Current Designers class took a small field trip to the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience over in Chinatown. There we saw the “Fashion: Workroom to Runway” exhibition, which featured garments by Jason Wu, Vera Wang, Luly Yang, and many others.

At 10:22PM I sighed into the backrest of my seat for the commute home. The heaters rumbled softly behind me, and I take off my scarf. As I was folding it onto my lap, someone collapsed into the seat across mine. I looked up out of curiosity, and I found a boy looking back at […]
DAY 0 As per usual on early flights (I only seem to ever book 6AM flights….), I couldn’t sleep beforehand so I pulled an all-nighter and spent the whole flight dozing in and out of consciousness. Once I got to the airport, Julia and Mike happened to be moving into their new house the same […]
“I hate Tuesday mornings because of him,” she said in passing, like an afterthought. I almost overlooked the subtle emphasis on each word. Hate. Because.
