Cloning Without a Brain
How often do you think about jellyfish? If your answer isn’t ‘everyday’, you might need to make some adjustments in your life.

Dearest Cicada
At the many picnics throughout childhood I heard your cry, I saw your shells galore At your loudest, you come out of the ground

Learning to Love
My Mama and I spoke different love languages in the beginning. As an immigrant, she wasn’t used to showing any weakness or affection. To her, women had to be strong. Resilient. Unwavering in duty and responsibility. Mothers were the backbone of entire families. Without them, all hell broke loose.

A to Z of Sustainability
This is for those who can’t tell carbon footprints from animal tracks. And also for those who think you need to have a six-figure salary to afford sustainable living. I’ve only just started making small changes and I have extremely little knowledge about carbon emissions but I do know this: it’s so EASY to start with small improvements that will slowly add up and help the environment, even if it seems to you like an incremental amount. So let’s get started, shall we?

Corduroy Comeback. First Place in Sweet Nostalgia Challenge. Top Story - May 2021.
It’s the dusty sweet scent of childhood. Of dolls and toys left on shelves in the attic and grass stained knees. Laughing until you fart and spinning until you fall down...down...and suddenly you’re flying high in the sky.

Taking a Tumble
I’m a very clumsy person. I’ve fallen backwards off a couch (how does that even happen?), I’ve faceplanted while bowling (caught on video too, lucky me!) and I’m queen of that awkward dance that happens when you pass a stranger on the street. My clumsiest moment to date, however, happened in college.
