I summited Half Dome for the first time when I was 24; I thought I was going to die on the cables. I summited Half Dome again when I was 27; it almost felt like a home game. I summited Half Dome for a third time when I am 29 – this time I brought new friends to conquer a formidable mountain.
24歲初登半穹頂，以為我的小命要交代在山上；27歲再登半穹頂，似乎成了我的主場；29歲三登半穹頂，這次是帶著新人，攻克了他們心中不可攀越的高山。

轉折 | Transitions
這篇文章是為了回答華玉的問題寫的。適逢我從史丹佛畢業三年，趁著這個機會，回顧我這一生中重大的轉折點，思考我曾經做過的抉擇，並且展望自己期許的未來。

另外一個家 | Another Home
2021 年3月13日，我們從住了兩年半的聖利安卓搬到了往南約半小時車程的佛利蒙。仔細想想，假如我三四歲搬到台中算是第一次搬家的話，過去二十五年我至少搬了十二次家了。

“Dancing at the Pity Party” | 《妳離開之後》
“Dancing in the Pity Party” is the first illustration I read in a very long time. I knew it would be hard to read, but I desperately needed someone or something that shares my feelings as a motherless daughter.
《妳離開之後》是高中的好友羽婷推薦給我的，也是多年以來我看的第一本繪本。我知道這本書讀起來會很艱難苦澀，但是我迫切地需要有人了解一個年紀輕輕就失去母親的女兒的心境。

我們的《童話》| Our “Fairytale”
國中時紅遍大街小巷的一首歌。快三個月了，如果我選了一個能讓我專注於我學習到的東西而不是我的感情的題材，是否能對我的心情帶來一些改變呢？
A very popular song when I was in middle school. It has been almost 3 months –if I pick a topic that makes me focus on what I learned instead of how I feel, will that change my mood a little?
