  • Familiar

    Visiting home after being away for 4 months and living 5000 miles away is weird… Driving into that familiar neighborhood… Coming back to familiar faces and a familiar home where there is still that familiar bickering between my parents… Visiting my high school where I attended for 5 years of familiarity… I love being home… Continue reading

  • Out of control

    No matter how hard we try, some things are simply out of our control There’s no point dwelling on that we cannot affect… Don’t cause yourself unneeded stress worrying about aspects of life that is out of your control Instead, focus on what you can affect, and go from there. Anyways… I have a flight Continue reading

  • Baggage

    Everyone has baggage… Things that weigh them down But also things that make us who we are Look into someone’s suitcase and you can learn a lot: the clothes they wear, the books they read, the souvenirs they carry, the sentimental stuffed toy they bring everywhere, the memories they’ve created, good and bad, the sorrows Continue reading

  • Rest in Peace Jong-Hyun

    It is a sad day today… Jong-Hyun, a Korean singer, unfortunately passed away. He was someone I’ve been following since 2008, nearly 10 years. I remember listening to his songs and idolizing him when I was 9 years old. I remember falling in love with Korea and their culture because I started watching and listening to Continue reading

  • “I don’t have time”

    “I don’t have time” “I am busy” What do you really mean when you say that? You mean to say: “It’s not a priority” For a year or so, I always wanted to start a blog… But one of my main excuses for not starting one was because I believed I was simply “too busy” Continue reading

  • Initiative

    I cannot count how many times I’ve been told, or thought to myself, “there is NO way that anyone will even look at this message, nevertheless give me a reply” But I still did it anyway. I still sent the emails. Okay, I probably can count… Let’s see: I messaged Vinh Giang, one of my Continue reading

  • Human

    “What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person.” – John Green, Paper Towns We are all human Don’t expect more… But don’t expect less either. Just be human. Continue reading

  • Is it too late now to say sorry?

    “Is it too late now to say sorry?” – Justn Bieber, Greatest Musician of 21st Century Is it ever too late to apologize to someone and admit a mistake? Or, is it ever bad to let someone know that you regret your past actions that may have harmed them? No. It’s never too late. There Continue reading
