I’m not going to lie — I’ve found myself low-key addicted to TikTok within the last few months (I know, I know, I’m pretty late to the game), but I know I’m definitely not alone. Sure, it may have taken me nearly an entire year just to figure out just exactly what the app was—let alone how to actually navigate through the platform’s endless content —- but alas, I’ve finally gotten the hang of it. This app has led me to discover some of my favorite beauty dupes, life-changing kitchen products on Amazon, and some affordable TikTok fashion brands that I would’ve probably never found left to my own devices. Sure, a lot of these brand’s aesthetics are more aligned...
Lately I have been cheating on prose with poetry. Below is one of the recent poems I read and loved. “Quarantine,” by Patricia D. Gao What if I just want to be In the same room as you? Keeping up conversations Is not my strong suit, I am better at Breathing when I hear you breathe Typing at my laptop while you’re Biting your pen and flipping pages Or scrolling through your phone Laughing occasionally You’d ask to open my window As it’s gotten too hot I’d stretch out on the carpet If I needed a break Silence on a video call means It’s time to hang up But if you were here We’d have the kind of silence One...

ss I’m wearing my house dress (again) today. The dress itself is unremarkable: It’s a great triangle of grey linen that some tell me is green, although I can only ever see the color in a certain light.
