humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Year 2020
This say's start writing. So I guess that is just what I'll do. They pay you if they read, or so they say. So type, type, I'll just type away. Though I may never see you, I do appreciate the views. It's 2020 and it seems like there is not much else to do. People say just Stop. Don't do those things that are just second-nature to do. Covid-19 has left us here, at a stand-point with no direction, no idea of what to do.

The Beauty of Neurodiversity
My brain gave me the gift of a dream last night and I had to write it up and share it. In the dream I was teaching my Self-Esteem and Empathy module to high schoolers with special needs. So, a real-life situation, except I was wearing a stripey halter top and pink shorts. The teacher was dressed in an elaborate steampunk costume. The students ambled about the class, but they were absorbing the lesson. A girl (also in a stripey shirt) raised her hand and I read her question without her speaking. Apparently, people who wear stripes share telepathy. I answered with a tangent about how test scores/IQ scored affect self-esteem. The CRUX AND NUGGET of this dream is the absolute gift of neurodiversity! (Keep reading!)

If I Were Immortal
We all have been asked the question “would you want to live forever?”. Everyone has their own philosophy when answering that sort of question. Regardless of your answer, I myself have pondered another question, while digging for my answer to the first. Who would I be after I’ve had my 90th birthday? What about my 2nd century? Could I hold onto my ideals? Or would time wash away most of what I think to be so vital to my identity? We see similar changes as we age through our natural lifecycle, typically never quite the same person from age 8 to age 10, or from puberty into our twenties. Though in my experience the longer you stick around the less frequently you seem to experience those changes. They become more like fine tuning.

Bartending: Day One
I can't say I came into bartending by choice. In fact, it was never my intention when I started working at one of the busiest hotels in my little college town. And yet, it helped me, an awkward introvert by nature, come out of my proverbial shell and grow into a more confident, and dare I say, more approachable person. The latter might be disputed by my closest work friends. Apparently, I have a hard RBF.

If you're reading this, hello :)
No one on this website/app knows who I am, obviously. I'm mainly doing this to maybe get some money. And, judging by the name of this little "story", I'm boring and have nothing else remotely interesting to write about, so here we go.

A Special Thank You
It's that time of the year, my friends. This is that one day of the year where we ramble on about what we're thankful for and never post about it again for another year. Facebook and Instagram are bloated with pictures and statuses of the people and things that we're thankful for, and then we spend the next year building up a collage to post for the next Thanksgiving. Most folks I know would post pictures about their families or careers. Don't get wrong, I AM grateful for the things in my life, but I don't often feel the need to make a ginormous post about it. Today, I am making an exception, but I'm not going to boast about the usual things that I've been grateful for my whole life. Instead, I wish to project a spotlight on a particular group of people that have shaped my life in the past year.

Graciousness is Gratefulness
I know this first line may seem a little unorthodox, but I can honestly say I am very thankful for the mandatory downtime we've been given to reconnect, reassess, and reset. As we all know, life is a combination of moments and decisions, blur after blur, year after unpredictable year.

Life Has Its Purpose
Welcome to reality, stay for a while. Our world is beautiful but it does have many, many, many, many issues. Within the world it self; natural disasters, flooding, and famine. Then within our self; mental illness, unhealthy emotions, lack of peace, hurt, strong hateful energy towards others, and carelessness for the problems interfering our comfort and safe well-being.

My Struggle as an Emotional Man (and as an Asian American)
What does it mean to be a man? Ohh boy, that's the question, isn't it? I even hesitate asking it because maybe part of being a man is not questioning or overanalyzing your manhood, right? You just be tough, it’s not that hard.
