Welcome to Afterthoughts!

Some thoughts arrive when you’re ready for them and that’s usually not when they happen.
Afterthoughts is where I write about the places I’ve been, the people I’ve known, the things I’m learning, and the little observations that stay with me long after the moment has passed.

Travel stories. Life lessons. Relationships. Growing up. Starting over.

I don’t always know what something means while I’m living it. I live it first. I write about it as an afterthought.

About Me

The Singapore Story

I decided to take this trip for my 23rd birthday – not to celebrate it, but to quietly dodge it. There’s a certain pressure to make birthdays in your twenties look magical with group plans, dinner reservations and perfectly-timed photos. I didn’t want magic, I wanted meaning.
