postcard from Korea 💌
It’s been less than a week since we arrived, yet it already feels like home — as if my body remembers what my mind forgets.
now more than ever, I’m proud of my ability to switch back and forth between two languages, to be able to call both places home.
I love you 🇰🇷 miss you LA ❤️

AD The @LEGO Festival Play Pact is not just for LEGOLAND, it’s for everyday!⁣
⁣
The last time we visited @legolandcalifornia Festival, we made a Play Pact to keep the creativity and play at home this summer and beyond. We can’t wait to visit again next year! #LEGO #LEGOPartner #LEGOFestival

While I navigate my own transformation, my daughter walked hers—graduating from an arts high school and stepping into the college of her dreams… a dream I once held too.⁣
⁣
I never wanted to be the parent who lives vicariously through her child. But as a woman who carries regrets from her own adolescence, it would be untrue to say there wasn’t a part of me longing to break cycles and rewrite the story—for her, and maybe for the girl I once was.⁣
⁣
Through each application, exam, and long drive to and from school, she built her own legacy—step by step. She knew her life was hers to live, not mine to shape or define.⁣
⁣
I tried to be her lighthouse, her quiet guardian angel. And while I stumbled many times, we emerged more connected—more loving, more resilient. And finally, she achieved her adolescent dream.⁣
⁣
Congratulations, my dear daughter. This is only the beginning. As you fly higher, remember: your home will always be where I am ❤️

this glow up is personal—an apology to myself
she is living proof of the metamorphosis that happened in solitude, unseen by the world, yet rewriting everything 🤍

I’m healing my inner child with Labubus, building her childhood memories with an Asian @barbie collection.
I’m a day late but everyday is AAPI day! Thank you @barbie for celebrating everyday with us.
