I don’t always remember the nuances and interesting bits of my day. Things is thus a weekly post containing poems, articles, and other forms of media I’ve consumed over the week. There may also be brief and miscellaneous reflections too, mostly reminders to myself.

• Ode to Emptiness, by Sally Wen Mao. What a beautiful poem. I’m in love with the underlying sentiment that there is the possibility of finding something sweet and special in the ordinary. To try and look for this sweetness is sometimes an act of necessity and survival. It can be hard to do, especially when you’re constantly mired in the depths of some struggle, but it may be the steady lifeline that pulls you to shore.
