Between The Squiggles

My thoughts are like little squiggles inside my head.

  • Ask The Salmon To Calm Down?

    Day 6 of writing something-random-just-to-see-if-can-do-it-without-getting-conscious Hmm. I’m here again. I had an early dinner today, but still went out with my family for dinner. It was sushi night. I didn’t eat much, but I did taste a slice of salmon sashimi my sister was trying out. Delicious, as always. Isn’t it strange how something can…

  • Hello, You

    Day 5 of writing something-random-just-to-see-if-can-do-it-without-getting-conscious Some days, I wish I had someone to write to. Maybe… I could write to you? But what do I even tell you about my life? I’ll try. I have 20 minutes. I woke up groggy – mouth half open, a blob of saliva in the corner of my lips.…

  • Landline and The Long-Lost Days

    Day 4 of writing something-random-just-to-see-if-can-do-it-without-getting-conscious Well…. What should we talk about today? Remember the days of landline phones? That split-second of silence right before and after you said hello. “Who could it be?” You’d think as you made you way to the phone. “Probably Steph? Probably Parisa?” Ring ring. “Or maybe it’s Jordyn?” It could…

  • Could’ve Spoken for a Minute

    Day 3 of writing something-random-just-to-see-if-can-do-it-without-getting-conscious I have a hard time talking to my mother. I used to think it was because of the resentment I had built up in my heart over the years, but that story feels too old now. All I manage with my mother are the usual pleasantries, nothing deeper. She’ll say…

  • Their Free Lunch, My Existential Snack

    Day 2 of writing something-random-just-to-see-if-can-do-it-without-getting-conscious Hmm. Well. I ordered some fish from California Fish Grill today. I was craving this specific set they have on their menu and had been looking forward to getting it. I check my notifications and see that XYZ dropped off my order early. Great. I go outside and it’s nowhere.…

  • She Wished She Had My Desk

    Day of Random Musings # 1 My friend said that if you keep letting yourself do whatever feels right in the moment  – without being held back by guilt, pressure, or expectations  – you’ll gradually train your brain to let parts of yourself express in ways they haven’t felt free to before. And once your…

  • Please Leave

    Have you watched Midnight Diner? It’s a feel-good, feel-melancholic series about a “master” who runs a small, nondescript diner tucked away in a back alley of Tokyo. The diner has a very limited menu, primarily featuring a single dish – pork miso soup with rice, but Master is willing to prepare any dish requested, as…

  • The Hell is Blockchain?

    If you’ve been going down the rabbit hole of YouTube videos and “beginner-friendly” blockchain explainers, only to come out more confused than when you started — you’re in the right place.

  • Perspiration on Upper Lip

    My sister and I watched an episode of The White Lotus in the evening. I’m kind of bored with the series at this point. Normally, I would’ve just left and I dont know… curled up in my room after that, but my sister’s sick, so I figured I’d keep her company in the living room.…
