What has someone else taught you that you never would’ve learned otherwise? Aside from the basics, like walking and dressing/feeding/cleaning yourself?

I am a combination, an anthology of knowledge collected and applied. I am in a part you, you whoever has left lasting impact and taught me a valuable skill / emotion and lesson.

I cook noodles the way I overhead a café runner in Singapore, teaching the new cook.

I listen to music curated from the taste of countless people in my life, a song here, a band there, recommendations and recollections. Happy times and sorrow.

I learned unconditional kindness from a dulcet, soft spoken yet stern British girl, who believed in me, even for a heartbeat.

I make excellent coffee, after having watched countless hours of James Hoffman and replicating his exquisite mastery of coffee making craft.

I write, the way I have read, and dread, that I will never be as good as those authors. But in small parts, in little pieces, I am happy with what I can achieve with words.

I am a mosaic, of everyone I’ve ever loved, of everyone’s who’s left an impression on me.
