on the houston marathon
ever since october of 2021, running has been difficult for me. from long lingering IT band issues, despondency about slow paces, and fear of overstraining myself, i have not truly found passion in running for far too long. it’s still a habit i enjoyed, and at times i have been so excited to be out…

on the transition (’24)
when thinking about this year throughout the year, i kept thinking about how there was still so much year left. then, all of a sudden, it was winter break and the year was almost done. it’s not that i wasn’t prepared, just that the end of the year was rapid. after a low-key 2023, it…

on national podcast day
i found out pretty late that september 30th is national podcast day. i really only found out because spotify sent a push notification stating that i’ve listened to 491 episodes and that it’s time to discover more. that got me to thinking, huh, what are my favorite podcasts? there are a lot of things that…

on going back to school
summer is coming to an end and school is right around the corner. i think that’s okay. i would be lying if i said that i wasn’t a little excited to get started to go back again, though i am hesitant to admit it aloud. i am a little stir-crazy, but i know i won’t…
