“In the West…people believe they must ‘pursue happiness’ as if it were some kind of flighty bird that is always out of reach. In the East, we believe we are born with happiness and one of life’s important tasks, my mother told me, is to protect it” Le Ly Hayslip from When Heaven and Earth Changed…

5: Jacklynn-style mishaps
I normally feel like an awkward person (in many respects), but I especially feel like my clumsy nature shines through when I move to a new place and am put into new circumstances. I moved to San Francisco, I’m starting a new job, and meeting scads of new people. Surely, the best stage for the…
5: West coast goals
I guess I should get in the hang of posting on this again. Matt left on Wednesday morning and I’ve not begun this new phase of my life in San Francisco. …I guess. I mean, I guess that’s what is inevitably happening although I don’t feel like I have much control over it. It feels…
Stateside again
I’m sitting in the dining room of my parent’s house in Nebraska. My month-long trip to Asia is over and I’m trying to catch up on sleep and prepare for moving across the other half of the country. But before I shift into a the next mode, a few words, no? Singapore My first stop was…
Curating the past
These are four last days of school: third grade, high school, my bachelor’s degree, and my master’s degree one week ago.

Happy birthday!
…to this blog! That’s right, this old blog has been kicking since 2010 and it’s exactly 5 years old today. I can’t believe it’s already and only been five years. Thank you for being a place to babble, bemoan, and blog. Thank you, dear reader, for reading the good with the typos and the bad…
PHAMETRICS // 32
Sorry this is late, but Matt came to visit and I got caught up in fun-having.
5: Men on the streets
While not the most light-hearted topic, there has something that has been weighing me down lately. And I have hemmed and hawed about writing about this because I feel like it’s not the most enjoyable subject to write about and because it’s such a prickly issue to read about. Something that people already have opinions…
