How My FOMO Slowly Lost Its Power By 2026
There was a time when FOMO controlled my thoughts more than I like to admit. It wasn’t loud or dramatic—it was quiet, constant, and exhausting. It sat in the background of my mind while I tried to move forward, reminding me that others were getting ahead while I felt stuck.

Red Envelopes for Strangers
Red Envelopes for Strangers The night train to Xi’an was always too warm in winter. Liu Shan sat by the window, her coat folded on her lap, watching frost blur the glass.

Craft over catharsis.
I like reading, 📚 I like writing, ✍🏾 I like sharing, I like exploring, and I like art. All the above, connect you to something. If I create by writing, I will want to share. Writing is an art, and a preserver of history, culture, and values. While art allows me to explore. Craft is a generic term for all kinds of art. It is not selfless but desires to share. It looks for a problem to solve, and solutions to adapt. When I think of catharsis, it is a temporary state, fleeting, might be exciting, and less involving. It sounds lazy, laid-back, and a bit selfish.

Poof! It's gone.
I rub three time. Nothing. I do it again. Nothing. I whisper a prayer. nothing changes. One more time, to no avail. Wait! I have it somewhere. I’ll look for it. My magic eight ball. I find it and ask it if I will be able to write today? Its reply, “without a doubt.” I do it again and ask the same question. “Outlook not so good.” This is insane! Make up your mind, already. Final time, “will I be able to write, today?” I turn the wicked little thing and get, “Concentrate and ask again.”
