Word of the Day: 数学
I am trying to figure out how I want to navigate my 3 computers. I have the School computer set up on my dining table, but I am wondering if I should change it out for the couch one. Currently the couch one is my Personal computer. I was using it to buy stuff on amazon and stuff like that. I was also using it to input some stuff for my Anki and converting my physical notes to digital. I guess I can do it on the dining table.

The Day My Mistake Became a Public Spectacle at Work
A Personal Story The office was small — just four desks, each occupied, the sound of keyboards and phones filling the space. I shared it with three colleagues, one woman and two men, each focused on their own tasks. On that week, one of my responsibilities was to make changes in our systems and move them into production so the whole team could keep working smoothly.

Word of the Day: 一番. Top Story - September 2025.
I finally think I am back to my schedule again but I am so giddy talking to Sebastian today. I know it is because of the weed a little bit but I am enjoying the heck out of it. Some of the enthusiasm might be also because I got the clean bill of health from the doctors and I don't have to worry about dying from an orgasm. Hopefully at least.

The Digital Detox Movement: Why Unplugging is Becoming the New Luxury
Introduction: The Age of Always-On We live in a world that never sleeps. Notifications buzz, emails flood in at midnight, and social feeds refresh endlessly. Being "always available" has become the cultural norm, but it comes with hidden costs—rising stress levels, declining focus, and an erosion of genuine human connection. Out of this environment, the digital detox movement has emerged. For some, unplugging feels like deprivation. For others, it has become the ultimate form of luxury: time, attention, and presence reclaimed.

Word of the Day: 洗濯
I put on pants from the bottom of my laundry basket and they are obviously stinky but I am going to the hospital so I am feeling like I don't really care. I sort of want to put perfume but I am not sure if that is allowed or not. I even worried about the deodorant but I put a little on

Secret Letter. Content Warning.
The yank came without warning—sudden, forceful, pulling me from the safety of my chair like invisible hands had decided my time of rest was over. My body lurched forward, the familiar world tilting sideways as I stumbled, caught off guard by the violence of the movement. Something had shifted, though I couldn't name what. The air felt different, charged with an electricity that made my skin prickle.

Unsent, Unforgotten
We all have sentences inside us that were never spoken. Words that sat at the edge of our lips, waiting for courage, waiting for the right time—a time that never came. For me, those words weren’t just sentences. They were an entire letter.

Drowning in Sorrows. Content Warning.
I woke to the clammy press of the couch’s leather against my cheek, its bitter scent—sour milk, kitty litter, plastic—wrapping around me as my eyes shot open and waves of discomfort collided with the thick haze of last night’s drinking. My mind started racing as my eyes flew open and I instantly felt the nausea coupled with the disorientation. I could still taste the alcohol on my breath as it seeped out of my pores, leaving me cloudy and stuck between consciousness and the dream world.

Secret Letter. Content Warning.
The fluorescent lights are too bright and they're humming secrets I can't quite catch. My feet are moving before my brain catches up—through the automatic doors, past the reception desk where the woman is staring (she knows something), into the parking lot where the air tastes like metal and fear.

The Gift of Presence: Why Being Fully There Matters More Than Doing More
Introduction: The Age of Distraction We live in an era where productivity is celebrated, busyness is worn as a badge of honor, and multitasking feels like the only way to keep up with life’s demands. Our phones ping with constant notifications, work follows us home through emails, and social media steals hours of our time in endless scrolling. In the midst of this hyper-connected world, we’ve never been more disconnected—from ourselves, from the people we love, and from the simple joys of living.

Word of the Day: 鳴き声
It is the day before my procedure and I have been laying in bed all day doom scrolling. I decided to buy a pizza and with tears in my eyes I told myself, " You deserve to eat ". I'll probably cry until the pizza gets here but I really think I need to get it out. I have a lot I need to process so I am thinking I'll get to write a few stories here before I chow down on some pie.
