• Decisions, decisions.

  I’m afraid to say it out loud because I feel like “life” is waiting for me. Waiting to hurt me. I’m scared that if I tell you I genuinely like my job, like the office, admire the building and even love the pretty park across the street – that life will overhear me and run…

• What could have been

  I’ve seen the same guy on the train for the last few days and he looks a lot like my friend Troy. He’s always on his phone and wears a brown jacket and dark grey jeans. I wonder where he goes? Maybe to work? He must be a creature of habit like me because we…

• Hold on tight

  I’ve been ill so much these last 4 weeks that sadness and frustration are creeping in and my anxiety is doing it’s best to convince me I’ll never feel better again. So instead of worrying (so hard as it’s what I naturally do), I want to list the good things in my life. I have…

• Conversations with Dad

  

  I don’t remember meeting my Dad, you know. He came into my world when I was 3 years old. Suddenly in our tiny, dirty, shabby Filipino village was a tall white man with a twinkle in his eye and a friendly grin. I don’t remember how we got to be Dad and Daughter…we just were…and…

• I’m walking away

  So today, I need to come up with a final decision for my boss. Here’s what’s been going on in the last few days: I’ve posted on Facebook about my struggle to decide and beloved friends have weighed in – albeit very gently – on it. Some are for staying, some are for leaving. Great.…
