22. One Year
A little under a year ago, I was celebrating my 22nd birthday with these wonderful humans in Boston.
Since then, I…
Graduated from college
Nearly capsized while white water rafting with my family
Took a short but beautiful day trip to Yosemite
Had a bao-making competition with my dad and brother
Enjoyed the Santa Cruz beaches
Tripped on a rock and scraped my knee shortly after taking this photo at Pinnacles National Park
Made red bean filled sesame balls
They were so yummy!
Gratefully got a job and moved to San Francisco
Enjoyed the picture day perks of working at a high school
Visited D.C. with my family
That’s my dad for you.
Caught a 360 view of the city from the top of Salesforce Tower
Felt grown-up attending a work-related conference
Explored Golden Gate Park and the Conservatory of Flowers
Had many new experiences, this being one of them
Found a Tarot deck in my parent’s house that was published the year I was born
The rest is history.
Celebrated Thanksgiving with some late night karaoke
Got my first proper tattoo
Not counting the stick-and-poke tattoo a friend gave me a year prior.
Took this cute picture on Christmas Day
Road-tripped Northern California with my family to ring in the new decade
Dedicated myself to uncovering my natural waves on a curly hair journey
As you can see, no two days are the same.
Made a four-legged friend while watching the sunset at Ocean Beach on a rare outing amidst COVID-19
