Life then and life now feels like a completely separate world. It feels like my past happened to someone else, a distant stranger, a different universe altogether. Been reading a memoir lately (Educated) about an Indian girl growing up in Idaho who was raised Mormon, none of which I came close to experiencing. At times, it feels like my past feels as distant to me as even that. Partially it's because I don't remember most of it. Aside from environment and circumstance, partially, it's also because my mindset and perspective on life has changed drastically.
Yet, it's a gradual change. It's quite scary to be honest. You can be as self-conscious and reflective as you want, and you'll notice the change as they come by year after year, but when you look after at the grander length of time, 5-10 years maybe, you'll realize the sum of those changes you observe do not add up to the grand total.
(Been wanting to blog for myself again more and stumbled across this blog delightfully. Frees me from feeling like I have to end my entries somewhere or that I have to have complete and coherent thoughts.)

ee. day 656 took me the longest time to recount my days
(Just for my own reference. Days are counted only based on days I'm in Ann Arbor, even if it's for 2 hours or so. So NYC, CFW, and one day from sleeping over at the Chou's in Northville did not count.)
Been a super while since I update and my update is that I'm leaving AA on the 14th of August, less than a week. It's crazy. I've already moved out of Courtyards last Sunday and have been living at my friend Jeremy Kuo's place for a while. Other recent updates were:
--Sat 8/3 James and Iris' wedding which was super amazing to witness and celebrate. Two really good friends whom I met here in Michigan who I love talking and spending time with a tremendous deal and sad that they're going to be in Cali, far far away, though I suppose I'll be away myself too.
--Sun 8/4 Officially moved out of Courtyards. that feeling that I'll really be leaving Michigan (forever?) dawned upon me right when I handed over my keys.
--Mon 8/5 My birthday, which I originally did not intend to do much but was super super blessed by all the people who showed up to dinner, especially those who traveled 30-45 mins away just for this. Had lots of fun, but more blessed that it was with friends whom I dearly love.
--Tues 8/6 Not too much. Got some things done.
--Wed 8/7 Grace Chun's place in Temperance (or Samaria), MI, for one last time! Loved it immensely of course to see her and her sis but also for the super tall cornfield, plus amazing and plethora of food at the diner.
Too much stuff going on. Not going to summarize the past few months since March. Mainly that summer in AA was super fun. I had no research so stress was mainly from not getting jobs. Other than that, hang-outs, reading, sermons, academic lectures, photoshop, script-writing, and many random happenings.
