About Me
I am an international student from China, currently pursuing an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in New York State. Alongside my studies, I am interning at a community clinic, where I continue to learn about counseling, mental health, and human experience in practice.
I expect to graduate in May 2027.
what I write about
I write about mental health, self-reflection, psychoanalysis, culture, and the small technologies that shape daily life.
This blog is a place for slow thinking. Some posts are personal essays. Some are notes from books, therapy theories, or everyday observations. Some are about writing tools, knowledge management, and the way digital environments influence how we think.
My interests move across counseling, psychoanalysis, existential thought, culture, identity, and personal meaning. I am especially interested in how people understand themselves, how suffering becomes language, and how reflection can become a form of care.
Why this blog exists
This blog exists because I need a quieter place to think.
Most online spaces are built for speed, reaction, performance, and visibility. I wanted a space that feels slower, lighter, and more honest. A place where ideas do not have to become content immediately. A place where notes, questions, fragments, and essays can stay close to the process of thinking.
I also write here as someone who is studying mental health counseling and learning to think between languages, cultures, and disciplines. English is not my first language, but writing in English gives me another way to observe myself and the world.
This blog is not a professional therapy service. It is a personal and intellectual space for reflection, reading, and ongoing thought.
These are the things I like, love, or wish to have.

How to follow my work
You can follow this blog by visiting it directly or subscribing through RSS.
I also write longer reflections and essays elsewhere, including my newsletter, where I explore psychology, psychoanalysis, self-understanding, and culture in a more structured way.
For now, this blog remains my small public notebook: a place for unfinished thoughts, quiet essays, reading notes, and attempts to think more carefully.
