[Day -1] Moving to a new blog

Hi friends and strangers,

I had so much fun writing this blog over the last 4 years. I enjoyed sharing what I learned with you, and I learned even more from your thoughtful comments.

However, as I reluctantly accept my responsibilities as an adult, I can no longer write a post every day. My long-form writing will be posted on huyenchip.com and my fragments of thoughts will be posted on Twitter (@chi

Huyen’s Quotes

“[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“The most worthless of mankind are not afraid to condemn in others the same disorders which they allow in themselves; and can readily discover some nice difference in age, character, or station, to justify the partial distinction.”

“That message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing.”
― Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air
