My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Life just is – a wandering of this world trying to discover what will unfurl. Life just is – a string of experiences some good, some bad, some open doors, others fences. Life just is – a chance to learn about ourselves, about others, about on what we should concern. Life just is – but a brief moment and of what is beyond us, we only have a hint. Life just is –…

  • America is viewed as a country that will celebrate anything. A common observance shared with me by non-North Americans is the exuberance of Americans at amusement parks, conferences, sporting events, and our observances of different months, holidays, etc. Having not lived in the US for some time now, I am not as well-versed in the norms of my adoptive country nor its people. However, running The Universal Asian has forced me to get…

  • There’s nothing quite like a physical purge to reset the mind. **TMI Warning**⚠️ Yesterday I was continuing my inner rage, which I’m sure was reflected in my somewhat negative energy being emitted to others. M decided to fuel the rage with little comments. One in particular sparked a confused response of anger, frustration, and truth – ‘you’re so negative about everything, maybe you need to reflect more on that’! 🤬😳🤯 First of all,…

  • Some days I feel as if the struggle is more real than others. Some days there is no real struggle at all, in fact. However, when climbing up out of a depressive cycle, the struggles can feel like mountains. On the outside, I think I am fairly well put-together. Even from my partner, I try to hide the tears that occasionally threaten to ooze out of the sides of my eyes (though he…

  • There are few things that trigger my negative psyche these days. Thanks to meditation, reading a lot of books for reflection, and general maturity in life through experiences, I always look inward before letting myself get absorbed by other’s actions or words. Introspection is a daily habit rather than a passing whim for me. So, when I feel injured by others, I really feel it. It has been a long time since I…

  • Two weeks ago, I had this moment of darkness where I could not see any light in my world and I closed my eyes not wanting to see it in others. It has been a while since such dark moments have passed over me, but when old traumas are triggered one can never really know nor be prepared for. It was in that space I saw myself potentially getting sick. It wasn’t that…

  • Ever since I was young, I have had a fascination with the clouds. Not in the sense that most kids have in trying to create shapes out of the formations and imagining stories as they morph their shapes floating across the sky. Rather, in the sense that there are worlds above them and in them. Depending on their size, scatterings, and density I pondered what God, the Creator, or the other gods were…

  • Money is one of those topics that is either an expression of love for it – when one has it – or a hate of it – when one doesn’t have it or has a jealousy of others having it. It is also one of the major stressors in relationships: marriages, partnerships, consumership, and even friendships. For the most part, I try to be as upfront about money matters with people as I…

  • I bet you’re wondering where I’m going with this after writing a bit of a ranty post a while back on etiquette? This pop socket is on my phone and I love what it represents. Yep, let me explain…. I still standby the need for basic etiquette like saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. However, I do not standby political correctness nor the bubble-wrapping of words to avoid hurting people’s oversensitive feelings in today’s…

  • Oh the sniffing, the sneezing!Thankfully, I’m not yet wheezing. It’s that time of yearwhen being outside causes fear. How long can I lastbefore the final pollen is cast? I try to stay upbeatnever wanting to admit defeat. But, alas, I cannot keep up the fightas my puffy eyes decrease my sight. I cannot pretend anymore it is funnythat my nose is always runny. So, it’s back inside I go losing again to nature…
