Priorities
I’ve been practicing mindfulness prioritization for the past week, and honestly, I’ve been struggling with it. What are my priorities? I have maybe too many… I want to do well in school.

Irrational Fears
I love to talk about my irrational brain. My irrational brain likes to give me irrational fears. Like for some reason, I am absolutely petrified by pigeons. Ironic, because I love New York City, and plan to live there one day. My irrational brain likes to tell me how ugly I am, before I quickly… Continue reading

No regrets
The only time I regret not studying more for a test is immediately after the test for maybe a few hours. To this day, I still regret not asking out the “pretty girl” in high school for a prom-postal or not starting a YouTube channel earlier or not learning Chinese or saying “No” to potentially… Continue reading

Mystique of NYC
Every time I go to New York there is a certain mystique to it. My first Broadway show made me believe that magic is truly real. When I walked through Central Park I saw all these beautiful nuances—how many tourists have walked this path, how many relationships are built on these strolls, how many dogs… Continue reading
