This place is a manifestation of my creative brain, treated as a dumping ground for creative activities. Like me, it will always be a work in progress: messy, multi-themed, and only half finished.

August 2025 Issue

Happy August everyone!

I know that for various reasons August is a most-hated month (it's hot, school starts again soon, holiday seasons are coming, hurricanes), but it's my birthday month so I'm in a good mood despite all of that. I see the birth month as an opportunity to reflect on another year of life and celebrate your wins, mourn the losses, and figure out what you're going to carry with you and what you'll leave behind.

Even if August isn't your birthday month, take this as a reminder to hold a little tighter onto the things and people that bring you joy.

This month I am taking nature walks, camping alone for a week, decluttering my bedroom, updating my resume, watching Stephen King media, and finishing my Harvard course on the US government.

I will be without air conditioning all month, so please keep me in your thoughts. Stay cool out there.
