Dear Subscriber First Name,

As I write this letter to you, I’m listening to Helen, Mel, and Janet’s latest episode entitled, “Letter to Our Future Selves”. The letters they share in this episode offer a glimpse of what form their dreams currently take, and listening to their visions, I’m inspired to write a letter to my future self this month.

Lately, I’ve been feeling a need to evolve. I feel compelled to release what’s no longer working, and to usher in a new age of deepened self-awareness, openness, and growth. Do you feel it too?

I’m finding that life serves simplicity and complexity on the same plate. An undeniable, seemingly simple truth to live by is often accompanied by the complexities of lifelong conditioning, and external expectations. In times of uncertainty, a simple truth can cut through the clutter like a butter knife.

If you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll take some time to consider your future self. What habits do they have, what company do they keep, and how are their days spent? Stripping away the expectations of others, try to focus on who you feel you’re meant to become—the answer may surprise you. Or perhaps it won’t, because you’ve known all along.

With love,
Haemee

For a while, we’ve dreamt of creating a community space for our little corner of the Internet—one where you can all connect, create friendships, share advice, and network.

Anchor Michelle Li recently shared a listener’s complaint about how Li was being “very Asian” by talking about dumplings during a New Year’s segment. Folks on the Internet rallied and breathed new life into the phrase with #VeryAsian, proudly sharing how their cultures celebrate New Year’s.

New year, new job? If you’re figuring out the best way to say “toodle loo” at your current company, here’s a guide on how to quit your job.

Looking for more books to add to your 2022 reading list? Check out this list of 15 notable Asian American books published last year.

Pepper founder, Jaclyn Fu, believes that “small is beautiful” and created the bra company to celebrate smaller chests. Designed with A, AA, and B cups in mind, Pepper encourages body confidence. Read the Pepper story here.

Photographer Emmanuel Hahn’s pandemic project, Koreatown Dreaming, began as photos and essays sharing the stories of Korean business owners in Los Angeles’ K-town. Koreatown Dreaming grew to become a book and a powerful statement about community; learn more about Hahn’s project here.

American Girl’s 2022 ‘Girl of the Year’ doll is Chinese American Corinne Tan. A powerhouse skier from Aspen, Corinne is “building the courage to respond to ‘xenophobic comments’”. American Girl will also donate $25,000 to AAPI Youth Rising, an organization that teaches about anti-Asian xenophobia.

Reading: The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho - Yet again, I’m returning to the book that follows young Santiago’s journey from shepherd in Spain to seeking treasure amongst the Egyptian pyramids. Santiago learns to listen to his heart, and heed his own life’s calling—an encouraging reminder for any who need it.

Watching: Single’s Inferno - Now officially a global top 10 on Netflix, this South Korean dating show features some good-looking single people on a “deserted” island. We’re enthralled and discussing beauty and gender standards, and the art of communication. If you’re done guilt-binging Emily in Paris, consider paying a visit to this visually-pleasing and politely hormonal version of “Hell”.

Eating: Dumplings! Hard to say which we love more—dumplings, or being #VeryAsian (see story linked in ‘Have You Heard?’ for more details). There’s a plethora of ways to make delicious dumplings; the recipe linked is Chez Jorge’s vegan Pan Fried Dumplings (素水煎包). Yum!
