Maybe they had to unplug it?

Aw hellz ya congrats!

the feeling of sparkly excitement one day before Asia trip ✨

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 ❤️

unfortunately the new katseye song is starting to grow on me

I saw ur tweet yesterday and it immediately prompted 30 min of piano playing hahah

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)

I would do a lot for my friends — I think much more than I let on. I care a lot — more than I let on.

I want to be better at expressing this. I hope my friends know that deep down I care so much. Written from the airport en route to Dan’s memorial.

stepping out of ceramics hiatus to be a part of this soon!! my little guys are in the kiln rn tho so pray 4 them… cutting it close w the firing schedule as always

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

you ever have days where you’re like “the adhd energy is strong today” 😅

“I would rather feel everything than nothing every time” 💝

the new ariana release is for the sadgirls in 2024 who are in their 2025 healing era now 🥹💕

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.

SF <> Yosemite is very possible!!

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

it feels good to be loved
it feels good to have someone believe in you
it feels good to have someone text you at the end of a studio late night
it feels good to have no doubt
it feels good to be warm again

it feels sad to walk away
my brain chemistry is a little sad today

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

this is not a subtweet
anyway is this my dating journal now LOL
