This is exquisite - time seemed to slow as I read. It felt as if I was sitting beside you in the car, at the festival, on the plane. I’m very grateful for you Demian, and your devotion to your art. You inspire me.
Sorry, my phone app is acting weird and I got kicked off before I finished! I wanted to let you know I appreciate your comment specific to my writing. That means a lot to me. I love the creative process and your feedback encourages me to go keep exploring with my writing. Thank you! ❤️
You have beautiful vision. In a world that's so short-sighted, it's refreshing and inspiring. Thank you. I just read an essay of yours. You have a new fan!
Thank you, Samira! It’s interesting when some say multicultural people don’t know which world they belong to. In some ways we belong to all of them and in others none. Living between worlds becomes its own identity, its own experience, one that is rich and synergistic making it its own work of art. We belong to each other ❤️
Thank you, Tiffany Chu, Bakhtawar, and Christa Lei for creating the beautiful and empowering space that Asian Writers Collective is. I appreciate the opportunity to share some of my long-ago, deeply cherished memories. To say it was a pleasure working with you, Tiffany, would understate just how much of a positive experience it was. And it's been an even deeper healing experience for me than I anticipated. With all my heart, thank you. ❤️
This drew me in and helped me to see your experience through your eyes. Thank you for that privilege.
As always, Susanna, thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you ❤️

Thank you so much, Claire! As always, your support means the world to me. Who you are nourishes my soul and I cherish our friendship ❤️❤️

A beautiful essay - of two worlds, between worlds and being lost in your own world. It felt like reading poetry.

I really enjoyed reading your essay. It was written so differently. I can pictur it as a Wong Kar Wai film!

I really enjoyed this. So soft and bittersweet that it feels harsh.
Thank you, Cheshir! I'm glad it touched you. ❤️
The way this is written makes me feel like I’m vividly seeing through the eyes of a young child :)
Thank you, Sam! Your kind feedback makes me so happy and greatly encourages me. ❤️
Right? Just magical!
