⁣
thanks so much to @article for partnering with me to create my dream living space. their #NirvanaSofa and #BeaconLamp were the perfect centerpieces to design our space around, and are versatile enough to work with any design aesthetic if our tastes change in the future.⁣
⁣
links to these @article pieces will be in my stories, as well as a link for $50 off $200 (valid until the end of March).⁣

Instagram post 17869894808321388 ✿ flower power ✿ these might be my favorite nail design I’ve done!

I love that colors and funky patterns are back in style, bc it’s reminding me that fashion can be fun and playful and help us laugh at ourselves. also, bright colors and cute prints help trick my brain into creating serotonin 🙃

Instagram post 18136339873154202 the necklace says it all. happy lunar new year, friends 🎊🧧⁣
⁣
growing up, my family tried so hard to instill a pride in our culture despite living in a country that takes our difference and exoticizes us as perpetual foreigners, that takes our assimilation and weaponizes it against us and other BIPOC communities in the form of the model minority myth.⁣
⁣
it’s never been easy to celebrate my culture without white supremacy casting an ugly shadow over it. but the more I’ve unpacked my internalized racial trauma, the more I’ve been able to find beauty and comfort in where I come from.⁣
⁣
my fellow Asian Americans & diasporic Asians, I hope today is simply full of joy and celebration. ❤️⁣

Instagram post 17906012773720875 for most of my life I was afraid to take up space. talk too loudly. draw too much attention.⁣
⁣
it was ingrained in me, a survival instinct passed down by my refugee parents. with the recent rise in anti-Asian hate crimes, I’m reminded of the quiet suffering my family often chooses to bear in the face of racism, because (they believe) to avoid notice is to avoid being targeted for further violence.⁣
⁣
but silence while we suffer does not protect us; silence while our fellow BIPOC communities suffer does not protect us. it is only by acknowledging the unique yet shared ways we suffer violence at the hands of white supremacy that we can learn to protect each other.⁣
⁣
for my fellow Asian Americans unlearning silence as a survival tactic, I see you. for my non-Asian community speaking up and standing with us, I am so grateful for you.⁣

Instagram post 17866704509292562 slowly reconnecting with my self-care habits ✨⁣
⁣
I’ll admit, I haven’t been taking care of myself (life hasn’t let me). but this week I spent one whole hour doing yoga. I made rainbows in my bedroom. I watered my plants and pulled them back from the brink of death. I wrote in my journal and told myself to STOP FEELING LIKE I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING, because I don’t! I went outside, enjoyed sunlight, screamed in the car.⁣
⁣
tldr; I’m still stressy & depressy but I‘ve made a little more room for myself to breathe, and I am grateful.⁣
⁣
[matcha from Black-owned brand @golde 🍵 it has a mellow taste that’s great for lattes. I used @thatcurlytop’s link for $5 off! use her link to support a Black creative and a Black-owned brand in one go, wow 🤩]
