I quit my job mid-January and this micro-retirement has been the best decision for my health. And now 250 job applications later, the search for what’s next continues…

I believe the same regarding Amanda Nguyen’s trip to space. While I believe that multiple truths exist at once & progress is made every day in our mess of systems, “For liberation to occur, we must resist or oppose the values and actions of M🥧er rather than be complicit to it.”

PSA to all job recruiters and hiring managers. Yes, I’m starting a new career path. Yes, I’m applying for a job that pays significantly less than what I could make. Yes, I’m applying for entry-level work. No, I do not currently utilize my two bachelors and a masters degree. #jobsearch #millennial

This bill must not pass. Please contact your US congressional rep. Among millions of people, it also disproportinately impacts adoptees, especially intercountry adoptees adopteerightslaw.com/action/call-...
National Action: NO on the SAVE Act
Contact your U.S. representative today and request a NO VOTE on the SAVE Act, which will disenfranchise millions of US voters.

Happy Seollal!
As a Korean #adoptee, this day carries a unique weight. I find myself standing at the intersection of two worlds - one that feels deeply familiar yet distant, and another that has shaped me in ways I’m still unraveling.
Pausing, thanking and looking forward to a year of intention!

While I was telling my mom about my wedding Pinterest board (if I were to remarry) she asked me when I started making this because it is very detailed. I replied, “Two years before I separated from (ex-husband). I knew back then but put it under the guise of a vow renewal 🤣”. When you know you know.
