Love so many things, hate a lot too 🫶🏽
There’s nothing quite like the feeling you have when you realize that you’ve finally won the love and affection of your cat.

Happy New Year! I started 2025 eating hazelnut cookies + strawberries with a glass of milk while watching Bollywood music videos. Felt really alone all day, but feeling hopeful about this year. May it bring lots of blessings, love, prosperity and freedom.

Thankful I had this little guy with me!

And the way this isn’t even a vacation because I’ve got two weddings over two cities in two entirely different time zones to cover within 48 hours of each other hehehehehehehehe
Starting a vacation/trip off sick is a -100/100 experience. I hate everything LOL

Maybe 2025 is the year I finally learn how to play the piano like I’ve been telling myself I will for years

Some food I enjoyed from my last trip to Chicago:

Argentinian meat platter + ceviche tasting from Carnivale

Beef laghman noodles + blinchiki and syrnicki from Karavan

Went to the Nederlander theater in Chicago a few days ago for the first time and tell me why it’s so stunning…. I really should’ve been going to more shows when I lived there. This is your sign to go see more shows at your local theater.

It’s been like 10 days of having a cold and I’m finally done with the stuffy nose but I fear the cough will never leave me lmao I’m so tired
December 3, 2024 at 2:45 AM
I was joking but now I’m thinking this might be true
I have a stuffy nose and I’ll have a stuffy nose forever. This is my life now. I miss when my nose wasn’t stuffy. I took that for granted.

In my ideal world I truly would spend winters in Houston and summers in Chicago because the weather is immaculate on either end. But I’ll die on the hill that Chicago winters are still more bearable than Houston summers
