if you take calls in a coffee shop without headphones you’re literally insane

I really connected w a stranger this wk, and she gently noted that she felt I was guarded and intermittently seemed sad..

It really touched me bc I felt vulnerably seen, and I didn’t realize these emotions were clearly visible

she said, it’s great to see you, please be sad if you want ❤️

I saw this on IG:

“you met me at a very Chinese time in my life”

I have no idea what this means but I can oddly relate and yes this is true for me too rn haha I’m more asian than ever before (somehow)

impulse bought tix to see wet w a new friend! one of my fav songs is “it’s all in vain”

And I can't feel you when you're kissing me and telling me
That all my fears are in my head /
And you don't hear me when I
Tell you that it's all or nothing, baby please /
Let go of me

ughhhh

in the last year my life has changed in ways I didn’t think possible, everything was different.

my brain *changed* too — trauma will do that to you. but I’m grateful for the pain, not *how* it happened but that it did — I am a better and happier person today. happy one year from the other side ❤️

do not offend me by asking me to work on spec like loll are your brains intact??

I can’t believe ppl still do this in 2025 (it always be a big brand too)

my ideal party is one in which you can take cozy cat naps (plural) and in fact be congratulated by multiple ppl for doing so

having crushes this year makes me simultaneously giddy, excited, and want to throw up and chuck my phone straight into the ocean

(I haven’t crushed in a really really long time! it’s fascinating to me how crushes can feel light hearted and deeply vulnerable in like the same week)

one way my brain *feels* different in my 30s vs 20s is how we process external stresses

just *feels* like less rumination and spiraling, more awareness of “oh u know I think I’m a lil chemically imbalanced rn” and I can’t explain how, it just *feels* like it grew and rooted somewhere more stable

lately I’ve been loving talking to ppl about how they stay resilient and with conviction in the face of uncertainty

I think to believe in yourself (in ways big and small) and also not feel shame over struggling (in ways big and small) shows self acceptance. it’s honestly so inspiring.

what I learned:

make the call, send the text, even if time has passed, reach out, tell your friends you love them, apologize for past wrongs, finish unfinished business, resolve unresolved hurts, let them know you’re all good, show your softness, show you care

things that I liked recently

- curling up in the backseat of Vicki’s car listening to them yapping w Alice y
- eating cut fruit w Jen
- watching “the room” over Chinese take out w j
- laying in the soft grass at Alamo watching the planes go by and thinking about the past

I used to feel anxiety around sharing deeper feelings (ie vulnerability). but I’ve now learned that if you’re sharing with a worthy (safe + caring) partner, the discomfort is actually a delicious thing, like bringing your inner truth to the sunlight. a little wince bc it’s bright, but mostly warmth

when I was dating in my 20s, I’d be evaluating it like: “ok, is it person A, B, or C?” *pick person and enter 1-4 yrs relationship*

strange that it’s taken me to my 30s to see the true choice is “A, B, C, or secret option D: it’s actually none of them and I spend my peace w myself”

to be seen and accepted is truly a wonderful feeling

candid dating hot take: I find it super unattractive when ppl are glued to their phones when there’s a break in the convo (eg one person goes to the restroom). counterpoint is it’s attractive when someone is *not* on their phone

I think it shows an ability to be present / not addicted to devices
