Who am I?

I am a first generation feminist Asian writer,

learning to live an independent and empowering lifestyle as I enter my fifth decade of life. 

I share random writings and musings under a pseudonym,

in the hope of finding kindred souls. 

I have lost precious things that change how I perceive and understand the world;

a brother, two religions, eight lovers,

two greatest loves of my life,

a best friend, a life partner, a father,

and above all, my youth and innocence.

​

These losses come with many gains. They have to, surely. 

​

I am learning to rediscover joy and purpose in this new phase of my life,

on how to be alone but not lonely,

vulnerable but brave,

careful but yet unbridled. 

I hope in my deepest moment of cynicism, just when it feels like everything is lost, 

I will still find and see what is truly important in this world.

​

Join me in this exciting treasure hunt

as we navigate through narrow alleys, hidden pathways, 

bumpy dirt roads, smooth highways and unexpected roadblocks

in search of our final destinations.
