I realized something the other day as I was walking in to work from my garage – there’s a few things now that are popular that must’ve been inspired by baby clothing! The item I’m thinking of in particular are baby onesies. Have you ever thought about how women’s bodysuits are basically baby onesies? Don’tContinue reading “Who wore it better? Baby or Adult?”

Miscarriage after Termination
So I haven’t written for a while. It’s been a lot of getting used to having a toddler in the house, balancing going back into work physically, and dealing with my mental health. Trigger warning: miscarriage and termination for medical reasons will be mentioned/discussed. Ironically, writing helps my mental health – but I really needContinue reading “Miscarriage after Termination”
I Don’t Want to Be Strong
You know how sometimes you’re going through something, and people will say encouraging things in an effort to help, but it really doesn’t? That happened a few times to me in the last month. One of the things that I know is supposed to be encouraging is the whole “you’re so strong to be ableContinue reading “I Don’t Want to Be Strong”
A Bad Day – So Just be OK
I had a really bad (aka a depression flare) the other day. Started with a huge argument with the hubs, which really just set the mood for the day. Add in the exhaustion and nausea I was already feeling, and let’s just say I didn’t want to do much of anything. Luckily, it happened onContinue reading “A Bad Day – So Just be OK”
Are you related to me? Asian family problems
This story is a two-parter – the first part is around issues with titles in Asian languages. The second – having so much extended family, you meet random new ones every few years (or so it seems!) If you speak an Asian language (I think most of them do this anyway), but for sure inContinue reading “Are you related to me? Asian family problems”
No Gender Roles in this Family
I think a lot about how society seems to want these clearly defined gender roles – women cook and clean, men do the fixing up of things around the house and car, etc. But, if you really think about it, people who only know how to do things based on their gender roles seem toContinue reading “No Gender Roles in this Family”
Stop Asian Hate
I think I’m finally ready to discuss a bit of my thoughts on the incident in Atlanta. It’s been eye-opening to see how many non-Asians were surprised or shocked, as if it came out of nowhere. It didn’t. Even before COVID, we’ve seen it – though in more subtle ways. With COVID being called theContinue reading “Stop Asian Hate”
Toxic People, especially Family
Let’s talk about toxic people. You know who they are – the ones that might bully you, and then gaslight you. The ones who act out to get attention. The ones who belittle you and make you feel bad. The list goes on. It may seem “simple” enough to cut these people out of yourContinue reading “Toxic People, especially Family”
International Women’s Day – Honoring My Mom
While I try not to be too sappy, I did want to do today’s post in honor of my mom. She has her faults – nobody’s perfect – but the sacrifices she’s made for our family and the lessons she’s passed on to my sister and me are invaluable, not to mention atypical for someoneContinue reading “International Women’s Day – Honoring My Mom”
Safe Space for Introverts
I read something the other day that really resonated. Paraphrasing because I can’t find it, but basically “Introverts are always told to get out of their comfort zone, but extroverts are never told to create a safe space for introverts.” Look, I’m all about pushing boundaries a little bit – I think that’s how IContinue reading “Safe Space for Introverts”
