On being “in love” with your life
This has always felt like such a foreign concept to me. The idea of… feeling good, or at least okay, the majority of the time? Bizarre and fake-sounding, tbh. At the risk of sounding too pessimistic, so neurotypical (and possibly ableist*). However, now it feels strange to me that I ever used to feel like … Continue reading On being “in love” with your life
Antiracist Book Clubs™
I’m going to preference this with a disclaimer that I am non-Black, and pretty much as privileged of a PoC as you can get (for anyone who may happen to read this and not know me?? sounds fake tbh?) I also grew up in an area where the public school education was so good that … Continue reading Antiracist Book Clubs™
Is Peter Pan Syndrome a real thing?

Oh no… it’s coming up again (ie, word vomit)
So, I’d like to start using this blog semi-regularly. If not for therapeutic reasons, at least to quench those occasional feelings of wanting nothing more than to put my feelings on (digital) paper. So here goes, in the time of COVID. Some time last year, my mom looked at me with what I can only … Continue reading Oh no… it’s coming up again (ie, word vomit)
*insert flower and sparkle emojis here*
¡Bienvenidos! I promise that not all of these posts will be emotionally charged 2 AM rants about how the world has wronged me. I have other thoughts besides those!! To hold myself accountable, here are my goals for things to write about in the coming weeks: Autonomous vehicles/AI (requires more research, which I’m starting!) Thoughts … Continue reading *insert flower and sparkle emojis here*
