This Place Keep Records of Curiosity, Celebration, and Reflection
✴︎ BON
Voyage!
—04.2024
This voyage had begun, happily, with a soft blue sky, and a calm sea.
As summertime is peeking around the corner, there is nothing more gratifying than seeing the fruits of our labor bloom after the cold winter months. Our expriences, thoughts, and emotional whirlwinds go through an entire transformation, not changing us, but rather uncovering the inner truth that already resides inside us – a force that seems to be much more wise and powerful than our fleshy brain could fathom ! ! !
The journey to the highest self – to me, as an artist, but also as someone who loves to hear all the ‘tea’ – is the most sensational story to ever exist. It just makes sense to keep a record of all the mini events, thought bubbles, and car conversations as memorabilia, while the larger story of life itself unravels for decades.
Latest fashion trend? Mini think-piece about something niche? Grandma said something memorable? The barista telling me my outfit looked good? Spiralling thoughts that prompted me to walk outside at 10p.m to get fro-yo? Oh it’s the end of the world? Perfect kickstart for a post. Stay tuned for all that and more…

about growth
“I’m not that type of girl”, “You can’t possibly change over night,” “I’m getting there, just not yet —
Blah blah blah. I’ve heard that way too many times. The worst part was, I believed it for the larger part of my life. I set my dreams far into an unknown future, somewhere vague and non-particular, betting that my heart would just know it as I’m “getting there.”
I’ve been experimenting recently, and I’ve found out that we could just be really unserious about our identity. Your identity is something that you have mentally created, partly on your own, largely built by others around you, somely built by movies and media expectations and the past and the wary future.
May you can change like the seasons do. Don’t hold that “flawed personality” that you have to near and dear to your heart. Decide that you will be different tomorrow, and you will.
Guys, let’s say YES to changing overnight. Do have the wildest imagination and dream that we become that person that has that persistence, confidence, and eagerness to do whatever we have been putting off, and wake up being that person. We are there, now.
As of right now, I am craving boba.
