Moments

Some of my favorite moments from the past few months, comprising many sunset walks by the water and plenty of puppy cuddles and portraits:

Space

One of the biggest indicators that I haven't been feeling like myself or haven't been at my best is long lapses in my writing. At this point, I haven't written since December. I thought having time to myself throughout the pandemic would mean I would write more. I didn't think I would end up feeling … Continue reading Space →

Quarantine Thoughts

Earlier this week, I caught up with a former colleague and still friend. Usually, calls like these largely involve sharing life updates and joking around. Lately, all social calls have covered primarily one topic: how we're dealing with the pandemic. So during Tuesday's call, I vulnerably and honestly admitted that it's starting to get to … Continue reading Quarantine Thoughts →

Home is where the heart is.

If home is where the heart is, then I am finally home. A little over a month ago, I shared on social media my plan to move. I have been in Seattle for a month now, and this is the best decision that I have made for myself in a long time--maybe ever. Moving to … Continue reading Home is where the heart is. →

Fears

It seems that I go through a "quarter-life crisis" every three years or so. Accordingly, several years ago, I was going through one of these said crises, and had been making some life changes--for the better, of course.For some reason, I had always been scared of dogs. I'd never been bitten by one--I was just … Continue reading Fears →

Origins

People frequently ask me what "Remy Sea" means. Following is the thought process I underwent as I contemplated a "pen name" for this blog forever ago. Just before freshman year of high school, I read This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen, one of my favorite YA authors. The main character's name is Remy Starr, which I thought was … Continue reading Origins →

Things I Wish I’d Known

I don't need to try to please everybody. As valiant and commendable of an effort as one can make, it is impossible to make everybody happy. While happiness can ensue via acts of service for others, I've come to realize that it also has to be actively pursued by asking myself what I want. A good … Continue reading Things I Wish I’d Known →

Reflections

It has been almost two years since I began my journey of personal development. It’s been long, and it’s been a long time coming, though “development” connotes an ongoing process, one that doesn’t end. As my colleague once wisely stated, “Mastery is a direction, not a destination.” While it would be easy for me to … Continue reading Reflections →

Relate and Resonate
