  • oldest memory I have is probably being in a baby stroller with a blanket covering the front while outside at a farmers market
  • Sleeping on the red couches at the japanese restaurant kouraku in Little Tokyo on my dad's leather jacket. And wondering what the little metal thing that pops up and down, which ended up to be the rice cooker lid opening and closing
  • Riding my tricycle in the house

  • Climbing the couch

  • my introverted-ness.
  • I wish I was more forthcoming with my emotions. I hold myself back, and even if I genuinely try to express my emotions, I feel like it seems faked.
  • awkwardness
  • taking life too seriously. Seriously, replaying each mistake over and over in my mind doesn't help my self esteem. Of course learning from mistakes is important and I feel like I do, but sometimes I just over-do it. And analyzing, over analyzing each detail, each persons actions.
  • Which brings my next issue: low self-esteem.
  • I spend a lot of time trying to avoid failing at things and preventing failure instead of achieving success..
  • being avoidant. Avoiding problems and confrontations hoping they'll disappear, but they don't.
