Woo! I’m 23. I don’t feel any different though, lol. Maybe that’s just part of growing up; I remember when I turned 16 I felt much older than I did before, the same for my 18th. But ever since then, every year kinda just felt like another year tacked on. Although every year it’s been […]

Farewell to Many
I’ve been putting this off for a while now, I felt like if I had actually gone ahead and wrote it, then it would truly be over. But, I can only escape from reality for so long, and while I am just 700 kilometers outside of Beijing on this dreaded 11 hour flight, I realized […]

To Anna
Time for a feel trip. I promised I would do this. To put it simply, Anna was my girlfriend of a year. But things are never simple if I’m involved somehow, as history shows. I’ll try to keep this one short, an eulogy to my last relationship. This was probably my most serious relationship to date; […]
