Run On

life had been rough lately and just the other day as my brain fog and emotional pain peaked ✨poof✨ i had an epiphany, and the course of my life has changed- it's almost ridiculous! here's what i've discovered....

for over a year and a half, i have not been able to make good art and as an artist, it really felt like death. it even got to a point where i was unsure about my purpose, because if an artist can't make art, then what is an artist? the problem gets even worse when i can't really do much about it because school is really at its peak and i have no time availability to do anything but schoolw...

i may or may not have said that word five gazillion times in the past week or so. only why? what about life right now that makes the idea of hypotheticals so appealing to me right now? what are the dangers of not changing this pattern? can it be good in any way? here are my thought. $10 off $30 or more at HENRY ROSE

as suggested in the last episode, i have some cute posters printed from Pinterest on my wall alongside many inappropriate ones, but i thought it would be interesting to highlight some of my go-tos as well the ones that most stand out to me, and ofcouse who better to do this with than bestie alexa!

am i worthy? am i good enough? is my effort good enough? is my best that good? good enough? all these questions and more have been on my mind in the past week as i've been dealing with a really rough time mentally, and so i though it would be cool to share how I'm working with it and around it, recovering while continuing to do and fulfill all my commitments

at work the other day, my co-worker and i were talking about how we were struggling to make time for our creative projects and how to solve writer or artist's block, which got me thinking about creativity this whole week... and here's what i concluded.

i was lying in bed the other night and thought to myself... "wow, if you told me that this person would no longer be a daily part of my life a year ago, i may have slapped you right across the face!" friendships in college can change and take on many different forms, but beyond just the normal varieties in friendships, there are a few common mistakes we have normalized as a generation th...

i never really know when it's the right time to start. I always feel like i could've been better prepared for almost everything, while also thinking it's never too early to start or i should have gotten started on this way earlier! and so finding balance between both has been the crux of many courses of action i have pursued, and although there isn't an exact resolve yet, i have ga...

we're almost one week into the new year and to everyone's surprise, i haven't really been accomplishing my goals, at least not all of them. but i've come to realize that there may be more to it than me simply failing at something that loads of people fail at committing to, because trust me, i'm not like the other gurls! it isn't just my goals that have been off, i've be...

it's time!!!!! 2 more days remain ahead of us before 2024 and all i can personally think of is how to make the best out of the last two days of 2023 to build good foundations of 2024 (or in other words get a head start.) i love myself a vision board but also some goal setting and newly this year, analog reflections (inspired by bestie ruofei.) we are here to kick off a wonderful year and make...

its the most wonderful time of the year... at least for me it is but i must admit this year is quite a bit unusual and it has been getting to me quite a bit on the emotional end of things. i think the key to growing out of the traditional christmas i've had for the past 19 years of my life is creating a new normal that is the same as the traditional just (wade'a's version) lol... here&...

it's the most wonderful time of the year... at least for me it is but i must admit this year is quite a bit unusual and it has been getting to me quite a bit on the emotional end of things. and of course there is no one better to talk about this with than my high school bestie who really knows her christmas vibes!!!

this is a hard topic for me to discuss publicly, but i recently came to the realization that i feel things in a much more amplified manner than many of the people i've discussed this with. it tends to affect me in ways beyond my heart rate and physical ability, but it also messes with my ability to build relationships, make decisions or take actions, never did i for a second consider "fix...

in the past 14 days, i haven't been able to stop myself from continuously playing falling behind by laufey. i noticed that it wasn't just a catchy tune but it was truly a reflection of my own feeling and thought that i was extremely attracted to because it was a well articulated version of the explosive fluffy things going on in my head and my heart. it seemed impossible that there was no...

On the train from Boston to New Jersey to celebrate thanksgiving my friend and I couldn't stop talking about how wonderful life is and how crazy it is to be where we are and we wondered for a second what brought us together to be together on a train after flying across oceans to go to school in the US, it just all felt to surreal and for to be approaching thanksgiving, it felt so appropriate t...

at the end of a long day off for democracy day, I felt super productive despite not having done any of the school work left to do for the rest of the week, which made me wonder why i felt that way and what it truly means to be productive, especially in our modern world where everyone looks to optimize their resources and time in particular. does it matter if we are conventionally productive at all...
