“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.”

Søren Kierkegaard

August 2026

Hey you 😉

I am very much over the humidity and craving cold, crispy fall mornings.

What happened this month?

  • Saw BTS for the first time T.T! Kayaked in the Hudson for the first time!
  • Got promoted, got a raise, finished 3 books (or was that last month, gosh it’s all blending together)
  • Biked Summer Streets again and ate dimsum w/ my book club
  • Attended a historical architecture walking tour around my old work neighborhood and also a tennis/pool party
  • Cooked more, ran outside more, spotted a panda in Central Park 😮
  • Woke up at an ungodly hour to watch a movie and then got some cute freebies at a Reddit pop-up
  • Watched some glorious shots at the U.S. Open (my 6th consecutive year!)
  • Had a few (not unpleasant) run-ins with ghosts from my past…

Another eventful month! Also, it feels like everyone I know is moving out of the country (okay it was 3 ppl but that’s a lot in just one month!).

P.S. I keep thinking about you looking over at me.
