Learning to See Black Men Clearly Again.
I grew up on a block where childhood felt like one long, shared backyard. We weren’t just neighbors—we were a roaming crew of kids who inherited each other because our houses shared the same sidewalk and our parents trusted the street to raise us as much as they did. The boys were Jarrett, who lived down the street; Michael, right next door; and later Brian, who moved in across from them. The girls were Valerie and her cousin Simone, and my siblings and the younger kids drifted in and out of our group depending on the day. Some friendships faded quickly, some lasted a few summers, but the only friendship from that time that truly lasted was with a girl—my best friend. That says something too.

Lessons of Friendship
These last few years, I have learned a lot about myself and friendships. In many ways, I have learned that I am a great friend... until I ask for reciprocation. And I have learned that this is probably due to my AuDHD.

From Transaction to Awakening
True love doesn't exist; but the love of the soul is eternal. Nothing in this world is ever absolute. There is no absolute truth or falsehood, good or evil, cause and effect, right or wrong.

The Arrow Maker and the Proposal Reviser
At eleven at night, A Zhe opened the proposal. Sixth draft. His boss had said that afternoon it was fine. The client had said no problem. He stared at the wording on page three, the caption on page seven, the number in the footer. In the drawer was a sheet of foil-packed stomach medicine, two pills left. On the desk, the pothos leaves drooped; one corner of the keyboard cover curled up. He changed a comma, then changed it back. The cursor blinked. He saved. He closed it. He opened it again.

I Met My Future Self Outside a Convenience Store. I Only Had One Question.
Evening at the school gate. I’m carrying my laptop bag, half a bottle of water in my hand, my phone buzzing nonstop. A parent’s message: “Teacher, the child skipped evening study hall again today. I’m about to lose it.” A message from the kindergarten teacher: “The baby only napped for twenty minutes today and was a bit fussy this afternoon.”

1,118 Men Named Kong Took a DNA Test. They Weren’t All Descendants of Confucius.
In Qufu, outside the Temple of Confucius, some people sell jianbing, some guide tourists, some have come from Quzhou to honor ancestors. Many are surnamed Kong. They can recite the generation characters. They can call themselves descendants of Confucius. Y-chromosome testing does not put them all in one paternal line.

Notes from the Mind Palace
There’s a figure who lives at the edge of my mind palace. Not a ghost, not a memory, not a wish—just a presence. A steady shape in the periphery, like someone walking a long road parallel to mine. Close enough that I can hear the rhythm of his steps, far enough that I never reach out and grab his sleeve.

No Is Not A Crime
No Woman Should Have to Fear Violence for Rejecting Someone My heart has been really heavy lately. Almost every time I open TikTok, I see another lady sharing her story of being abused. Sometimes, I scroll through my feed hoping to find something funny, something encouraging, or something that will make my day a little better. But then I come across another painful story of a woman who has been hurt, threatened, or mistreated by someone who could not accept her decision.

The Long Road Back to Myself. Content Warning.
In life, we all have a story. But, not everyone is an open book. Some people prefer to be private while others can share their stories with no issue. I'm an open book so I'm going to share my story.
