shaking six year old me by the shoulders YOU WERE RIGHT. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT LOVE AND ABOUT FAIRNESS AND ABOUT SHARING IS CARING. YOU WERE RIGHT. THE ADULTS DON’T KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT TRUTH THAN YOU DO. KEEP BELIEVING IN THE FAIRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN. NOTHING IS “JUST THE WAY IT IS”. I AM SORRY THEY EVER CONVINCED YOU TO FEEL SHAME. YOU ARE REAL AND A PART OF THIS WORLD. YOU WERE RIGHT.

You and me, the bed at the center of it all– the way you never felt like a stranger, instead like someone I had forgotten, like a part of myself I had dropped in some distant city, delivered back to my door.   Our story, a pipe-dream in three parts– my bedroom the place where everything came together and the place where everything fell apart. There are still echoes of us in the bed-frame, and the closet, and the drywall. I keep your dignity on the bookshelf; I figure you’ll come looking for it, eventually.   It always comes back to here. The only sanctuary I have ever known still smells like you, sometimes. Just when I think I’ve gotten you out of the pillowcases, I find your cologne on the walls. I remember when you came apart in pieces on the carpet, and I will never be able to wash the heartbreak out of the floors.   Someday, I will leave our story behind, in this city. This apartment will be barren and then it will be full of other people. None of them will know our names; they will track over our history like rerecording over old video tapes. I won’t miss you.   Or I will miss you, but I’ll have bought a new mattress: one that doesn’t know how you twitch in your sleep. I will have a new bedroom, and the floor boards won’t know how to moan your name like I do. And we’ll fall asleep in different beds, in different cities.   And if I wake up from dreams that still taste like you, I can take comfort in the fact that even though you have kissed me, you have never kissed me here.

nostalgia is a liar. nothing was ever as good as you remember it to be. there’s a reason you don’t talk to that person anymore, there’s a reason you’re not part of each other’s lives. don’t trust nostalgia. grieve. reflect. move on.

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

i love when tragedies are like “the love was there. it didnt change anything. it didnt save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that the love was there”
