Happiness & Love Above All

  • Checking in

    Just landed in Tokyo after my 8-hour flight Hopping on a 9-hour flight to Vancouver in about 2 hours. But since when did airplanes get in-flight WiFi? When did self-driving cars become a thing?

    Hey, if you are reading this, let’s catch up

  • The Final Stretch

    If you go to university away from home after high school, you will have spent ~85% of the days you will ever spend with their parents.

    Imagine you have a vase, perfectly hand-made by Japanese skilled workers. You love this vase so much so you polish it every day. Meticulously shining it and taking care of it, making sure no dust is able to settle on the vase. One day, you accidentally drop it and it splits into several pieces. You… Continue reading

    Lack of structure

    When you work full time, 9-6, fully structured days, 5 days a week, like starts to become routine, and sometimes you need weekends that are unstructured. Weekends where you can just do whatever you want to do, whether that be watching Netflix, sleeping extra long, going for a walk, writing, or just thinking. In a world… Continue reading
