Pakistan is going splendid, splendid splendid.

I’ve been dreaming of a white christmas, but instead of snow, it’s smog

I stretch the curtains wide, inviting the world into my day. Looking for the autos and cars chasing the streets, I see nothing. A blank canvas covers the world just beyond the balcony railing. It’s 10am; only now are the edges of the middle ground buildings lining the landscape. Is it fog? Smog? Probably a mixture of both.

Welcome to Delhi.

Fleeting India

I will inform you that I am doing well.

No exceptions (still in india)

Whoop, whoop, surprise, surprise, Stephanie is in another part of India. I am not sure how I manage to crave stability and create a schedule that prevents all forms of such occurrences, but here we are

Big Fat Indian Wedding

I think we are at a point where each week is going to be plot twist upon plot twist. This week what I am writing about already feels like a different era of existence, even though it was only ~4 days ago.

Oh Taiwan, I think you saved me.

Because of Taiwan, I know who I am, as myself. I know my ties to land, people, and my body.

Less about Taipei, more about being tired

To the outside world, and to describable English, my path makes little sense. I am decently confused and disoriented yet deeply directed and purposeful in my core. There is a sensation beneath my rib cage, somewhere in my chest, that indicates that I am doing just as I need to be doing in this moment. While my work is not lucrative (yet), I am working.

Jumbling Back to Taipei, Taiwan

Holding my sign up high, I put up my thumb. And then I was off.

The Intersection Got a FamilyMart and They’re Calling it Downtown (Taiwan)

Noah Kahan has a song describing small town energy: “The intersection got a Target // And they’re calling it downtown.” Replace Target with FamilyMart and that about describes the village I am in.

That is to say, the village is villaging.

Ocean Era in Taiwan

I am settling. Adjusting at a good pace.

The Eastern Coast of Taiwan

More and more of my headspace is being allocated to the external details of my environment. I am studying how my body interacts with space. This is a good sign— an indication that perhaps I am pushing outside the six-year tornado my brain has been nonstop producing.
