Success vs. Significance

"Success is when you add value to yourself. Significance is when you add value to others."

Simply put

Comes down to this

"When I am lonely for boys it’s their bodies I miss. I study their hands lifting the cigarettes in the darkness of the movie theaters, the slope of a shoulder, the angle of a hip. Looking at them sideways, I examine them in different lights. My love for them is visual: that is the part of them I would like to possess. Don’t move, I think. Stay like that, let me have that."


– Margaret Atwood, Cats Eye

“And so you go out with girl, and you’re driving. ‘So what are you reading right now?’ And all too often, ‘Well, I’m not much of a reader.’ WELL I’M NOT MUCH OF A DINNER BUYER. GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT.”

Most at peace

I am the most at peace when I'm with gramps. And although I know it may be a form of escape from everything else, from what my life must be like, from my responsibilities to go out there in the world,

deep down I really wish to just spend every day with him. 365 out of 365. Sitting in the back cabin together, taking walks, reading my books as he works on his Chinese calligraphy, doing figure-8 exercises as we watch TV, eating noodles and leftovers, singing Chinese folk songs, unbothered by anything, untethered.

Love, from Us

Jeff left for San Diego, but not before introducing me to tuna dan bing and snails on his last day. Ever since I can remember, he's always made me a more adventurous person, willing to try new things. One of what I was most looking forward to on this trip was hanging out with him. I know I am lucky because he's my big brother and he will always be a core part of my happiness, no matter what. 







Love you, love you lots.
