Anyone Still Here?

If any of you who followed my life in and post-Korea are still around, I've got a new blog after all these years. Write me an ask there about what you want me to update on, but I'm mostly just starting over as a 26-year old who went through a hella breakup early this year and now am doing a lot fucking better. http://www.twentytwenty-vision.tumblr.com

Living with Chronic Anxiety as a Creative Content Producer

Living with Chronic Anxiety as a Creative Content Producer

  Living with anxiety sucks. But what is it like when it is your job, your life’s work to be creative and produce content for others and for yourself in a way that doesn’t make it look like your mind is a mess? The truthful answer is, you don’t. But it definitely is very hard to express your good ideas when your brain and emotions are not connecting with your hands, with your preferred medium of…

Skincare with Glossier

This summer hasn’t been hell for my skin, per se, but it’s definitely been dull and with many blackheads. I haven’t been getting “enough” sleep lately due to lots of work and insomnia related to anxiety (I think I usually end up going to bed around 2am-3am and wake up at 7:30), and it shows underneath my eyes.

Recently I have started my first real full-time job at a…

I want to talk with you forever. I remember every word you’ve ever said to me. If only I could visit you as a foreigner goes into a new country, learn the language of you, wander past all borders into every private and secret place, I would stay forever. I would become a citizen of you. You would say it’s too soon to feel this way. You would ask how I could be so certain. But some things can’t be measured by time. Ask me an hour from now. Ask me a month from now. A year, ten years, a lifetime. The way I love you will outlast every calendar, clock, and every toll of every bell that will ever be cast.

What a quality of innocence people have when they don’t expect to be harmed.
