author notes on a new year.
There are two beginnings in my world. The first, based off of the solar calendar, comes on January 1st. The second, following the lunisolar calendar, comes after 12 lunar months. Sun-based.

Other People’s Relationships Are Not My Problem
Last night, my mom and dad got into one of their explosive arguments. I haven’t been a witness to one of these for a while, after moving out of the house. In the past, I would go downstairs and interject myself, like a mediator. This time, I managed to close the door and consciously remind…

no more compromising.
You ever not follow your intuition? Big lesson learned today. I woke up today with the intention of using the Wash/Fold/Dry service at my local laundromat. It was a big load, I had other things I wanted to prioritize in my day and this would have been such a big help. So I packed everything…

late night ramblings

authentic relationships
Every time I go on Instagram or Tik Tok, there’s an onslaught of relationship advice. People sharing their experiences and tips, ranging from: don’t be the first to text, wait a few hours before responding to them, pretend you’re busy even when you’re not. I find myself confused and overwhelmed by the amount of information…
