My six word story begins with the words, “I always seem to remember more.” These words sum up a common theme in my life that I perceive as both a blessing and a curse. My ability to lock in memories, details, and focus on the little things in life have been a defining element of my identity. I’ve always been a people person, fascinated by why people are the way they are and always in tune with what makes a person stand out. …

I stroll into the new bakery on my block late at night, craving my go-to dessert, a savory açaí bowl with extra coconut strips.

After ordering my açaí bowl at the counter, I manage to find the perfect empty seat to situate myself in the corner. I like corners — close to the walls; liberated from interaction. Face deep, munching on every savory bite of granola and coconut strips, I steal a perfectly timed glance at the double glass doors and catch your familiar face, casually stroll-on in.

Everything and everyone stops.

Suddenly, I’m not in the same cozy cafe…

Dear Medium readers,

If this pandemic has affected your mental health and lifestyle, you’re not alone. In fact, it only seems to be getting worse as people struggle to find purpose in their everyday lives when all they do is stay indoors and isolate themselves from the world.

Please note that I only wrote about a few cases out of many and that there are many more incidences that have yet to be reported and investigated. I sincerely hope that my efforts and attempts to hold this criminal accountable for his behaviors will be recognized and that justice will eventually be served.

I have been contemplating whether I should expose the behaviors of this predator or simply not getting involved. For some time, I thought the circulation…

I have spent the majority of my life questioning whether or not I was cursed with misfortune and bad luck. It all began with a rocky childhood with a neglectful mother who constantly reminded me how useless I was as a person. If that was not already challenging enough, my parents did not speak English fluently and like many second-generation Americans, I never learned my parents’ native language. Oftentimes, the way to communicate was with broken English/Korean and the google translation app. Subsequently, this developed a barrier between us due to the lack of connection and understanding.

For those who may be losing faith in the Law of Attraction, just remember that the best things in life happen when we least expect. It’s a classic story and it happens all the time, at least in my life. Don’t always stress and put so much pressure on what if’s & all. Simply let go, surrender, and spread your positive energy into the world, for it will make its way back to you, one way or another.

Letting go: The act of letting go is the key in manifestating what it is you desire. Have you ever had an…
