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.
