This isn’t my commute anymore…

July 13, 2018.Reading time 1 minute.

This isn’t my commute anymore, but my next post prompted this: We were little humans, hidden on streets, overshadowed by tall buildings touching the sky. We swam through crowds crashing like waves, following stairs found in gaps in concrete, and dropped in and out of a whole world underground. We sprinted to trains, squeezed into […]

….So many of my NYC memories survive in my heart.

July 13, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

So many of these memories involved an accomplice. We didn’t know the day we emptied our savings account that we’d empty it again and again, or that we’d sign multiple leases, and move again and again. All we knew was that this city brought strangers together in small spaces without many words needed in exchange. […]

In a world of “fake news,” here’s more to the theme of truth and (not so) INSTAgramming:

A birthday poem I typed up on my phone, with every intention to post, lost in my notes, digitally filed away by the day(s). However, life treated me with the presence of this foreva friend, visiting – She stood in my apartment kitchen, as I read: Back before Instagram (we’re so old we can say that now) we […]

This digitally represented life…

Hey media-world: you’re confusing and I still don’t understand you, so I am posting late and breaking all the fake rules related to this digitally represented “life.” And believe me, my #dad is worth every rebellion. Because without him, I would have lost many battles, given up on catching any curve ball, and thought most things were […]

Hi. Here’s me – not knowing how to pose – in a cool place and talking about it….

Location: Chiyoda – Kioicho, Japan. Date: March 2, 2018 I smiled awkwardly for this impromptu photo, staring at the guy behind the lens generously documenting me in this swanky looking hotel bar lobby. We were more than 30 stories high, windows unveiling views I’ve only dreamt about or seen in movies. This city that was […]

“You can’t sit with us!” Just kidding, YOU SHOULD.

Sometimes I struggle to find the right caption that I presume many don’t even care to read. But it’s more for me, and those that might, than for the “others” – my FEW followers – IF I was to compare this account to almost anyone else… But “comparison is the thief of joy…” So here’s […]

#Home

#Home. It should be a bigger word. Not too long ago, I moved miles…. from “home.” Footsteps led by a familiar friend. But, can’t help but see another view from this #track… on my way to a destination called Somewhere – constantly inspired by humans along the way. And when I look back, my path seems […]

Window Reflection

March 5, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

Never would I have imagined that I’d make it to Asia. One week in Tokyo confirmed that the world is meant to be seen, when you can— and learning a culture by living thru it is something a camera sometimes struggles to capture. I’ve been bit by the Travel Bug back before I can remember— […]

“I’m going to tell the story of several characters searching for happiness…”

September 3, 2017.Reading time 1 minute.

We are only here for ourselves. We are here to claim our happiness. “I’m going to tell the story of several characters who are searching for happiness without finding it. If they fail, it’s because they’ve been given or adopted ideas about happiness that don’t suit them: money, power, a good marriage, mistresses with long […]

Notes found from New York…

September 1, 2017.Reading time 2 minutes.

I got off at Motivation Station today. A stop I hadn’t seen in a very long time. It was as if it temporarily disappeared from my route, taken from me, and swallowed by my routine. This “adult life” is full of check lists and emails. It’s leaving for work at the same time and riding […]
