  • Before Punk Island 2023

    Oh dear lawd, I haven’t updated this site in so long that I still have an unpublished post right before the 2022 Punk Island lol ugh. But that’s okay, I’ve been struggling with imposter syndrome a lot this past year, but I’m going to make more of an effort to be diligent with my passions…

  • Reverse Pandora

    For the Text and Image workshop I took with Simone Kearney at Brooklyn Poets, I wrote a poem titled “Reverse Pandora”. The prompt was to bring an interesting object and write about it in different voices and detailing. I enjoyed writing it and you can see a video of me reciting here Content warning: psychosis,…

  • I will not hold back in my love for you

    I’m noticing some changes to my being. I honestly feel like I’m on the cusp of another stage of growth. Due to the following: I check in with friends a lot more often, esp when they told me earlier how they weren’t doing well, feeling sad, or struggling with something. I don’t ask “how are…

  • Learning to Love Myself More

    I haven’t written here in six months. Within that time span, I started to see someone new, intern at a beloved Asian American literary nonprofit, and took an online book art making workshop. Each endeavor making me happy in a variety of ways. In fact, I was at a baby shower, and my old friend…

  • mini book reviews & trying to move on

    I recently had to close a brief, beloved chapter/dream. I was a bookseller. I loved it. Those five months were the happiest, most fulfilling I ever experienced. I am sad to see it end, but I’m sure I’ll find another job to love. I miss the staff but I can always visit. Anyway, I accumulated…

  • on an upswing

    2:49 am, September 18th, 2017 I went to Dunkin’ Donuts to cheer myself up. I love going there to write and read but honestly, I barely did either. I pretty much just sat and stared at the window, deep in my feelings and thoughts. The maple pecan large iced latte didn’t do much to lift…

  • reveries made real

    I had a flood of bad news a few weeks ago (lost a writing contest, lost a dream job, lost a guy to his now girlfriend) BUTTTT I had an outpouring of great news recently that totally annihilated my sour mood. There will be other writing contests to go for, dream jobs have been opening…

  • That Next Step

    I think I want to try a new approach to this blog. The original idea was for this to be solely for creative works, whether it was in the form of poetry, short stories, photos of the day, sketchbook spreads, collages, etc. But I decided to switch it up and include more personal material, like…

  • It’s only daunting when you believe it is. Just give it a go.

    ERGHHHHH. Here I am again, now TWO MONTHS BEHIND in photos and other whatnot. Gah. So bad. I really need to fix this bad bleeping habit of mine. Grr. There’s so much I want to write and do and all that but I don’t do it. I just plan. To an excessive degree. And what…

  • Reporting from Ergth Heaven

    Ergh. So I’ve been really really horrible about updating and catching up on this site. Sorry. But I just want to shove a little update on here, even though no one is following right now haha. I might as well build up some sort momentum right? And anyway, I might forget what I mean to…
