About to start 3rd year of PhD and my new favorite ritual is drinking traditional Chinese fermented tea (game changer, ditch the Starbucks).

I ALSO think a lot about my life from age 16 until now - my ups/downs, the myriad impressions people and places have had on me, and why some of these experiences are something I repetitively think about when I’m alone (or drinking a cup of 2014 Meng’Hai Ripe Pu’er). While writing my dissertation I figured, “Why not just put your brain’s broken-gramophone style convictions into writing?” Hence, in an effort to put my musings into semi-linear text - I give you “Tea for Thought”.

Feel free to read, relate, question, and/or scroll as I fervently, fastidiously, and [likely] irregularly post short chapters about my “hiccup” philosophies on warmth, passion, numbness, seclusion, physical & spiritual intimacy, sense of direction (or lack thereof), and all the hard-to-name sensations that fall in between.
