Thank Goodness for the Laundry Pile

My work has gone mostly remote again, which at first was something of a relief. After barely a day of emails instead of interaction, though, I found myself going quite mad. Without a regular schedule, I have far too much space for overthinking, indecision, and wandering aimlessly between tasks. Fortunately, just as I was nearing Continue reading

Rejoicing in Repetition

My current favorite song—“Shape of Love” by Passenger—keeps popping up in my Spotify playlists and I never skip it.

Rest and Laziness: They are Different!
I am a busy person, not necessarily because I have committed to a lot or because my parents expect a lot from me, but because I make everything I am passionate about into a serious commitment and expect a lot of myself. (Started piano lessons? Practice to be accepted as a piano major at a conservatory. Enjoyed Continue reading
