Trying New Things

I haven’t written this frequently on this blog in quite some time. It wasn’t a conscious decision to start posting more often again. It’s more like the words are spontaneously coming to me and if I feel like writing, then I will. I had one heck of a day working outdoors in NYC while temperatures…… Continue reading Trying New Things

Oh Happy Times

After going through my last few posts and rereading them, I thought about how despite all the melancholy I expressed in writing I did not give adequate acknowledgment to recent happy experiences. When life gets hard, it’s hard not to unconsciously slip into a funk. I forget to take time to slow down and ground…… Continue reading Oh Happy Times

Home Away From Home

There is so much I want to say. The last month or so has been crazy. My lovely internship at an urban farm has taken up the bulk of my time 3 days out of my week. Much of it has been good but I’ve had hard days. I have had a lot of fun…… Continue reading Home Away From Home

How many times have I been here before, with my inaccurate fortune telling? I should know better…… Continue reading Happy Belated 4th

Amusements For a Day

My physical and mental fuel reserves were wiped out to capacity from yesterday’s all-day family outing I participated in. Both my mind and body worked so hard to fight the anxiety, except I didn’t feel the aftereffects of it until today. My mom’s younger brother had come back to New York with her after their…… Continue reading Amusements For a Day

A Beach Day

As the winter chill slowly creeps in November, one thing I occasionally daydream about is spending a hot summer day lounging or walking along the beach. I am not much of a swimsuit or bikini girl, and even the times I’ve worn one, I usually wear a tank top or miniskirt over it out of…… Continue reading A Beach Day
