No matter where in the world I am, I like to search for any Taiwanese food places that are in the area and get to try it at least once. I may be pretty distant, both physically and culturally, from Taiwan now, but it still provides a sense of home and comfort. 24 likes 1 comments

I watched Shang-Chi recently and enjoyed it so much I wrote a blog post about it and created these slides. Now, not trying to get your hopes up, but it really is one heck of a solidly good Marvel movie. Think action, soundtrack, fighting, humor, and all the classic parts of what makes a Marvel movie good, Shang-Chi probably has it. 27 likes 3 comments

Photos featuring some food eaten on the recent road trip to/from Maryland. Love myself a good highway side local diner. Walking in I felt very out of place and hyper visible, but people were nice enough and the food was affordable and good 👌🏼 The other two food pics are from Baltimore - a place I felt a lot more comfortable and blended in because…yeah you guessed it, diversity. One country, so very many worlds. 14 likes 4 comments

Okiii last post w/ photos from my last scuba diving trip. I also wrote a really long blog post which is up now (link in bio) just tracing the experiences of learning how to dive from my teen years to present day things. It was long mostly because I tried recalling the details of what made learning to scuba dive as a teen a prominent memory. A lot of it had to do with tensions I had with my mom around money and how we spent money. Writing about it also helped me sort out my thoughts about getting to learn and do something as a teen that was a $ splurge at the time to being able to afford this experience paying it for myself now? Like there is a next level of “wow i am an adult” when you get that agency in choosing how to spend your time and your money. It is a huge privilege to spend it on something “fun”. Idk if any of that makes sense, it is just something personally important to me. The blog post was also really long because I used it as a note taking space for the things I relearned about diving as well as my experiences diving. I am terrible at explaining things in detail though, so that was a struggle, but it was nice to gather it all up and put into one space. 17 likes 0 comments
