Time

Time is such an incredible concept. In the present, in the midst of mind-numbing work, time can feel so slow. Yet in the grand scheme of things, time moves way too fast. When I was in the 8th grade, I remember attending an assembly led by some high school students…

Void

My heart is like a void, a voracious consumer, never satisfied My soul is like a void, continuously empty, always desiring to be filled God is good. He is a provider. He intercedes for me. His endless promises are always revealed to me. …

Dusting the Brain

Hey friends! It has been quite a while since I’ve had the chance to reflect and paste my thoughts out like this. It’s been such a quick quarter and I constantly feel like there’s so much that’s happened but also so little. Feelings are a funny thing. Career: I’ve always never…

Gone Fishing

Honestly, I don’t really know when I started fishing with my grandfather. I’ve just… always been. There was never a trip to China where I didn’t fish with Yeye. [Funny story interlude] For some context, most Chinese fishermen still use hand rods.

February 20th — Ivory

Gorgeous by SAINt JHN What does it mean to be confident? Where do you draw the line between hyping yourself up and being prideful? I’m pretty pessimistic, I like to undershoot so when I fail, I don’t feel as bad and when I succeed, I feel… better. On paper, I…

January 27 — Small Flakes

Pluto by Chamson I don’t really remember the first time my grandpa took me fishing. Honestly, all the times we went have sorta become a blend of one single trip. The time when casting out his hook, it went through my ear. The time we caught nothing. The time we…

January 24th — Black Lacquer

bed-demo by Zeph I often wonder why I experience the emotions I do. It’s honestly astonishing to see how quickly I can transform from being in a jubilant mood to some weird concoction of melancholy and depression. Maybe it’s because I’m bipolar (not to self-diagnose but …) But honestly, I…
