Warmth

  I had such a good week.

 Last week was just so good.

 I slept over at a friend’s place. Actually, I slept over at two friends’ places. One of my friends got something she’d been wanting for a minute now, and the genuine congratulations all around the room? That was something special. 

 I feel everything so strongly—you’ve probably noticed by now. 

 Then I had lunch with my dad and aunt. These two match my humor perfectly, so the laughs were nonstop. And then, I was home for the weekend.

Ugh, I don’t know, man. There’s just so much sunshine. 

 Sunshine on my face through my bedroom window. Sunshine warming me as I walk home, realizing that maybe the day wasn’t so bad after all. Sunshine after a string of rainy days. Sunshine as you share laughs, as you feel gratitude, as you notice the world isn’t as heavy as it sometimes seems.

Cooking not Crumbling: Recipes I learnt out of Pure Survival.

  #1 Soul Chilling Cola for the Overwhelmed. Ingredients 1 can/ bottle of Coca-Cola (served preferably as cold as your existential dread) Ice cubes (optional for when you're feeling extra fancy) A glass...bonus points for a clean one Instructions Step 1: Open your cola with the gravitas of someone about to make a life altering decision. This is where the magic begins. Step 2: Pour it slowly into your glass; watching the fizz rise up like all your hopes and dreams in the face of adulthood. Step 3: Add ice cubes if desired and listen to that satisfying sizzle- like a round of applause for this culinary masterpiece. Step 4: Take a deep sip, lean back and appreciate the refreshing taste of zero responsibility (if only for a moment) Chef's Note: Goes best with a side of pretending everything is fine.

Things they should have taught us in school

They really should have taught us tax stuff in school. And, like, money stuff. Because trying to cram all this information while simultaneously mismanaging my finances? Quite the experience. And don’t even get me started on starting a business—it’s 2015 again, I’m back in a chemistry class, and spoiler alert: the information is going in one ear and out the other. (And before anyone says anything, I’m not dumb. If you know me personally, shut up.) Anyway, I haven’t had coffee for the past two days. Instead, I’ve been drinking black flavored tea. The headaches are there, the intense craving is there, but somehow— not me beating the addiction allegations?! Author’s Note: I will be back to that coffee drink, and I will be paying back the cups I have missed. End of Author’s Note. Also, I need to stop describing myself as a shy girl because why is my voice all over Instagram? Sigh. Haven’t yapped on here in a while, but my brain fog is brazy right now. I kid you not, I can only focus on...

Thoughts on Aging

 Lol, I just remembered the age I’m turning this year, and hold on—let me sit down. Suddenly, my bones are more rickety, my knees have this pain that sort of comes and goes. Guys, we were literally turning 10 just the other day. Remember when someone asked, “How old are you?” and you proudly said, “I’m this many!” —only to realize the number out of your mouth did not match the number on your fingers?! Omg, tears in my eyes, fr. Like… where did the time go? But also-where did the time go??? (Read that in different intonations; you’ll get it. Rapper okk. ) But honestly, I think aging is a privilege. A diva does not die at 21. A diva is eternal. And I used to pray for times like these—well, not exactly these. ( Seated at my desk at work on a cold day when I should be home, in bed, and born into filthy generational wealth with a horse named Pipa ). But I did pray for my 20-somethings , for some kind of liberty and autonomy. And it’s cool, for the most part… Until I need to be put ...
