sweet tea before bed.

Greetings, readers. You already know what time it is…

The prompt that Jetpack provided was fine, but not something I wanted to delve into so close to my bed time. I can’t think of anything else right now except for the last episode of My Hero Academia that we just watched, so I decided to just write a “sweet tea” blog post.

for those who don’t know…

“Sweet Tea” posts consist of 7 categories to portray my life in a nutshell. I usually write these posts when I don’t feel like writing about anything in particular. The 7 categories are:

My Life: what’s been going on with Mishy for the past few weeks?
Tunes: what has Mishy been listening to lately?
The Word: what book of the Bible is Mishy reading? Why is she reading it? What is she learning?
Threads: what is Mishy’s favorite piece of clothing or style of clothing right now?
Create!: is Mishy working on a project? If so, what is it?
What I’m Watching: what movies and TV shows has Mishy been watching?
Here&Now: what is Mishy doing, right here, right now?

So, let’s get started…

my life.

Right now, I’m trying to find balance in my life. Which is so funny to type out because I’m pretty sure for the past decade, I’ve said I’m trying to find balance in my life. But this time it’s different; with being married, we’re both trying to figure out how to balance time with each other with time with our families with time with our friends with time with just ourselves. It seems like a lot, but we’re learning a lot as we live day by day.

I’m still working at the library, and enjoying it. And I’m still streaming on Twitch (I actually just started playing the Kingdom Hearts series, starting from the beginning! I’m excited to have a new game series to play alongside my Nancy Drew games).

tunes.

Lately, I’ve been diving back into my William Singe phase, along with listening to SoCal music mostly created by Asian-American artists. I’ll leave some examples for you below from my “On Repeat” playlisit if you’re interested in taking a listen:

the Word.

Right now, I’m reading through the book of Psalms, along with my devotional book Living in His Light by David Jeremiah. A woman from my church gifted the devotional to me, and it’s been blessing my soul. Admittedly, it’s been a little harder for me to really sit and focus on reading the Bible (I’m not perfect, by any means), especially since I’ve been getting up early in the mornings now to hit the gym before work, that way I can just go straight home after work.

But, after this mornings devotions and being encouraged in church, I’m eager to truly spend some quality time with God again. I can tell I need it so badly. I don’t want anything else to become my priority because I know that I won’t be in the right mindset or manner if I don’t start my day off talking to Jesus.

threads.

Well, y’all, something that’s been sweet about having a husband is that he’ll buy me clothes (he honestly used to do this before we got married, okay, so don’t get mad at me. I’m only half kidding LOL). Lately, I’ve been wearing some things Cadarius has bought me for when we go out on dates together. I’ll post them below:

This outfit is actually one I got for myself!

create!

This blog has been my main mode of creativity lately, minus I guess creating and curating events for my Discord community. I write poems sometimes when I’m doing my devotions, but I haven’t settled on wanting to write another book. But I’ve been enjoying blogging again; it’s nice to have an outlet to express my thoughts at the end of the day.

what i’m watching.

I feel like I’m in the middle of a lot of shows right now.

For anime, we’re currently watching Delicious in Dungeon and finishing up the latest season of My Hero Academia (so late, I know).

As for other shows, we’ve been watching Martin and The Jamie Foxx Show since I didn’t grow up watching them (although, I do remember seeing my dad watch them). We also started Mo, this drama on Netflix about a Palestinian refugee.
