    Summer heat and being on guard for the potential blood-sucking fire starters on my skin keeps me from my usual blissful eight hours of subconscious escape these days. In the early morning hours when my mind is not quite exhausted, yet not fully present, I find my thoughts drift in and out of relived conversations.…

    There’s a vibe that wafts of creativity and reverberates an awakening deep within the soul. The inner creative envies the artistic skill of those who can draw the lines that reflect the curves and personality of an individual. Yet, at the same time one is inspired to weave together words and phrases that can similarly…

    In 2016, I decided to quit my job because I was at a breaking point and I was under the naive impression that being newly married meant that my husband would take care of me. Without going into too much detail, that delusion was more of a nightmare of grandeur. Thankfully, my stubborn character did…

    Generally, I limit my social media interactions. For the longest time, I thought it was just because I do not care so much about what is going on in other people’s lives that I need to be updated regularly. However, just as its use has evolved, so has my reasoning for why I’m bothered by…

    An entire month has passed as my attention has been divided and my words have drifted in the blank spaces of my mind. Where has my attention been? Well… I’ve just released the third issue of The Universal Asian. It’s growing in readership and content, which gives me a sense of satisfaction and conviction that…

    There is a thing called personal space. The amount required depends on the person, culture, etc. I have gotten used to having less of it through living in Japan 👥 where this concept is a luxury even if on a person to person basis people would like more of it. The other day, I knew…

    Eating is one of my favorite things to do. Good food makes my legs move and my body dance. I am also wont to hum a happy tune as I chew and savor a bite of goodness. 💁🏽‍♀️ Some time back, I was talking to someone and relaying a story about an experience eating. As…

    While waiting at the airport with my mother due to our seven-hour delay to get to Mongolia 🇲🇳, I did a lot of people watching. I am always fascinated by behavior whether as a social norm or an individual. Often, I find myself imagining what people are thinking or the background behind their actions. 💡…

    Having weekends to myself has been the most challenging in terms of how to pass the time enjoyably, but also meaningfully for me. I have loved fireworks since I was little, but in the US we can only enjoy them once a year really. However, it was always my favorite part of the 4th of…

    While some people choose to go into a sauna to sweat out 😥 the toxins in their body, the summers in Japan 🇯🇵 work just about the same when you step out the door. 🏝 The weather has drastically changed from rainy season ☔️ to sweaty season 😓. Although I don’t feel that it is…
