Mirrored Reflections by Alex Baker Photography

March 27, 2015

I am creating this blog with a two-fold purpose. The first is simply to share my thoughts in the hope that I can contribute to your day by providing relatable experiences / food for thought / mild entertainment.

The second is a little more complicated. I recently realized that ever since I graduated from UC Berkeley (more than two years ago - woah, it's been that long?!) and entered the dreaded real-word / started working, on most days I have been consumed in the monotony of a 9-to-6 job + the occasional hour in the gym to compensate for sitting at a desk all day and sporadically munching on healthy snacks. I didn't know this was possible, but even weekend entertainment has started to become predictable. No wonder I've been complaining about a lack of inspiration!

But the point is that we all have opinions and sometimes even epiphanies and revelations; in fact on good days when I've had 7+ hours of sleep, my mind is positively buzzing with random musings, judgements on what I'm reading or eating, and conversations with myself. So perhaps we just need to try harder to find spontaneity or blessed inspiration if it is no longer thrown at us in the wee hours spent catching up on reddit / lazy afternoons watching Stanley Kubrick or Woody Allen movies / or rainy days checked-out with a Woolf novel.

This blog is my way of finding meaning in daily interactions including, but not limited to, art, literature, food, travels, and mind wanderings. Happy reading!
