"but i'd rather be working for a paycheque
than waiting to win the lottery"

got holes in my new jeans for you

back in hangzhou with a new studio apartment downtown, amazing location and even better view. this week has raced by in a blur of beer and RMB, people popping in and out of my life, things to buy and feelings to consider. i need to have more discretion and consider situations more carefully. i also reeeeally need to lay off the booze for a few weeks.

i like my co-workers. i'm so lucky to have good people around me.

from an airport on a cold day

first day of the new year, waiting to board. i feel like i'm running on momentum, like i couldn't stop if i wanted to - somehow i've learned how to stop fighting things and just let myself be carried by the tide, by the way things are going, without allowing myself to actually feel it at any point. just in case it's too painful.
