a swollen pungent-tasting edible root 11/18/2022
I totally remember when I took these photos! At that time, I had a dream of having a home filled with various root vegetables that I grew myself. A few weeks before taking these pictures of my radishes, I celebrated my garden’s first harvest on my birthday by capturing a photo and writing a blog…

but…it turned out well.
One of my biggest regrets is throwing away most of my journals from college before moving to New York in 2010.

At precisely 4 AM, I opened my eyes and immediately turned inward. It was as if I was knocking on doors in my brain, hoping that falling asleep early helped reorganize my latest writing project. I try taking a deep breath, but instead, I dive under the covers, hiding my entire body to savor the…
