Learning to Accept, Adapt, and Move On, but first . . .
I feel embarrassed. Partly because I've made promises that I haven't kept. Partly because I haven't actually posted anything in this blog for nine months. And partly because I've put my priorities on things and people that won't get me where I want to be. I feel embarrassed because I've reverted back to my old... Continue Reading →
Branching Out: a rebeccanne update
If you're a reader of my blog, then you know I have been struggling a lot with my identity in my own world of chronic pain, on and off depression, and anxiety.

Not because we're having problems. Not because this first year of marriage is rough. But because Hong Kong,... Continue Reading →
Lost & Found
How can one be both at the same time? Given my current situation, I'd say, it is quite possible. I keep cycling back. It’s like I’m stuck in some kind of time loop. I created a new draft to post, but I realized I’ve been a bit redundant. I’ve been in the same set of... Continue Reading →
The End of an Era
I thought I'd write a special post dedicated to this particular date. 12/29/2017. It's not an anniversary or anything, just an ordinary day. The final marking of this single lived path for a good chunk of time. I've been with the company for 5 years. Straight outta college and right into the working world of... Continue Reading →
