Goddess

Then I finally remembered, I am never afraid. 

Taking off, landing, staying 10+ hours high up in the air, going through turbulence, I never feel afraid. 

Then I finally remembered, going to different countries, meeting different people who speak different languages, getting lost in strange and alien places, I am never afraid. 

And I finally remembered, trying new things, embarking in new adventures, accepting and forming new ideas, I never think it's fearsome but only exciting. 

Yes I finally remembered, standing up against unjust and unfair, fighting off dark forces for the sake of light and hope, giving whatever I have to the things I believe in, I never felt and never will feel an ounce of fear or hesitation. 

Because it is me, it is who I am. 

I am built this way.

And finally I remembered, I am protected. Wherever I go, I am being closely watched and shielded.  

Call me witch, call me Goddess, call me spirit, call me a force by itself. 

Because I am witch, I am Goddess, I am spirit, I am a strong force by itself.

I am the source of energy.

a little kiss

 

unease before meeting, cause

 a long pause that was heartbreaking

the moment he came into view

nothing else in the world felt true or anew


like a bird

at the sight of him

she rose and flew


like lightning

a thrill of joy 

came rushing gushing through


arms circling his back

face resting on his chest

a moment rehearsed and played

like undercurrents that never faded


lowered his head 

placed on hers

a kiss fell light

like a drifting breeze for the quiet night



time to say goodbye

but it never was enough, alright?

ten thousand seconds dissolved into the night 

when each breath a haven, serene and bright


a trace of sorrow

wrapped in the steady halo

arms circling his back

face resting on his chest


didn't know what to say

rarely found the words to weigh

how much she wishes that this could stay

the thoughts of him keep churning in gentle sway


leaned down at ease

his lips lovingly grazed hers

a kiss in the midnight breathes

tender as the hush the nightwind weaves



a little kiss

a little time

a little love


a little kiss

a little time

a little love


sometimes it sets her softly bobbing

but night returns with quiet throbbing

too often, she's left in silent sobbing


a little kiss

drew out a rainbow

 arching toward an Eden in the sky


a little kiss

grew an ivy

pulling her back down to the center of the eye


a little kiss

spun a web

elude is a dream though she may try



that little kiss

waits to turn into lingerings

on her cheeks as he whispers slow --

the feelings found a mirrored flow


but that little kiss

wishes to stay forever flutterings

come and go as the desire he follows

tethered to neither sorrow, nor to morrow



the little kiss

exists beyond the bounds of time and space

painting her a vision in place

of a human future she would long to chase


but the little light kiss

carries the weight of time and space

won't help her outrun the written script

of being laced inside a silken case



a little kiss 

as natural as breath can be 

sings a song of souls that spark 

like stars in the flame of pounding hearts


but a little kiss

as pure as it's meant to be

finds no place to rest its arc

among cold concrete in the unending dark



"but baby"

a voice broke through --

lightning splits the deadly night

birds tear wide the solemn sky

flowers crack the concrete tight

poems soothe the enduring plight

wistful kisses and loves

none should shine any less bright

unyielding rivers and oceans

 all will find the way in twilight flight

My minion

Raj watched my son in the fencing tournament yesterday morning and drew the conclusion from that. Shiv actually showed significant progress in fencing. Yesterday was his first time getting an award, 8th place. I was utterly thrilled by it.

We've always known Shiv is not aggressive, but rather cautious on each of his moves. That's his nature; he's born like that. He is careful and diligent; he is kind and respectful. He is super humorous and always tries to make people laugh. He feels what other people feel; he is very sensible and understanding, and he works very hard, often prioritizing the happiness and comfort of others. On top of that, he has a freaking high IQ, definitely above most people in this world; he gets whatever is been taught to him right away, be it maths, chess, coding and robotics, language and literature, music (in various instruments), humor, fencing, horse riding, soccer, Taekwondo, I have never met a teacher or coach who was not amazed by how much he could focus, how fast he learns and absorbs and how hard he tries. 

And it does take a lot of time and practice to grasp the essential idea or vibe of fencing. Shiv hasn't completely grasped it yet, but is surely making steady progress. He has the brain and body; he just needs to strategically apply them to fencing. Doesn't mean that my son needs to change his personality to excel in fencing, nor does it mean my son's innate personality is at fault. And it surely doesn't mean an aggressive personality has a higher chance of succeeding in this world. 

Kids are born with certain traits, and we should develop "useful" skills around them rather than trying to alter their innate nature. The will to change it is extremely disrespectful, harmful, and toxic for the children. At the end of the day, we merely want to survive and thrive in society, but we're not particularly keen to comply with whatever it's set up there. At least not me and my kids. 😸

Raj is surely not entirely familiar with my ever-evolving ideas and perspectives, which are continually shaped by my nonstop growth. And men often feel threatened, don't they? Even though they get to do whatever they want career-wise and family-wise, and they get to make decisions for whatever they like. That kind of privilege, at least I personally have never tasted. I guess you need to have it to feel the threat of losing it. I never had it, so I don't feel threatened; I'm merely trying to survive and live a full life, maybe according to what I like, a little bit, someday. 

I sincerely don't think that whatever is happening to the boys and men in the patriarchal world applies to my son. I don't understand why this is happening, and I also don't have the energy to spend on it. I have a limited amount of energy to only focus on my son, that's a case-by-case analysis. And yes, I don't think I've detected any potential problems in his development. That's that then. 

And I'll never forget what I saw just a week ago on Santa Cruz beach, while I was watching the kids dipping in and out of the waves: Shiv came, joining Aditi and some other kids she met on the spot, they were chasing and running away from the waves. This shorter Latino boy was playing together, every time he felt a little tumbling on his feet because of the wave, Shiv stretched his arm out to reach him, giving him a hand. It was not entirely needed, actually, because the Latino boy was playing like that for the past half an hour with Aditi, under my watch. Shiv held up his arm long enough that each time the Latino boy ended up holding onto Shiv's hand, even though he knew it was not really necessary. Shiv was digging up holes with a different group of known friends from Santa Cruz in a different location; he had just joined Aditi and this group of random kids who were playing with the waves. Upon his arrival, he was able to give his hand to a complete stranger, just to take care of him and make sure he was 100% safe. 

That is my boy. He is not timid, and he doesn't need to be aggressive. He will be just fine.

Prostitute

In the core of any human being, one thing I take very seriously is whether this person respects women most fundamentally. For men, respecting women means they give regard to women's experiences, they treat our physical differences as normality, even though men's bodies naturally desire women's, and men are generally bigger and stronger. On a higher level, they are curious about our health, our happiness, or the way we perceive the world, which is entirely different from theirs.   

Most men in this world don't have that in them. They didn't grow up that way, nobody taught them properly, and the various societies they came from did a poor job. Some societies are even going backwards, doing a worse job now compared to before: pushing women down, stepping on them, and punishing them. America, China for sure, maybe India, and all Muslim predominant countries. 

I am a woman who was and still is being punished by Chinese society. The men in the society use me as a "living example". None of the things about me on the Chinese internet are true, and whatever they fabricated in 2021, the exact duplicate content, they keep reposting. 

I still receive nasty comments from Chinese internet users daily on my new YouTube accounts. Of course, I needed to set up those YT accounts after my almost 10k account was eliminated. My own fault, but it is what it is. I need a place to share my updates, as well as some old videos, in case people saw those defaming fake articles and searched for me to find out how miserable my life was. 

I recall that in 2021, during the storm, I received tens of thousands of comments daily on my YouTube channel, after all of my Chinese social media handles were deleted and blocked access altogether. People used VPN to find me on YouTube and leave comments. 

Two keywords in most of those comments: Prostitute and Traitor. Actually, Chinese internet users have been using these two keywords on me for more than a decade already, from the beginning I was online and started actively promoting different cultures, in 2009. I have gotten used to internet violence, and it has toughened me overall. Part of the crucial growth in my 20s and 30s. 

Today itself, there were at least five comments across my new YouTube accounts with the keyword "prostitute". 

I actually do not understand this discrimination towards prostitutes. Aren't they doing jobs to support themselves? Isn't it the oldest job humankind could think of? Doesn't the work provide a great deal of necessary service for men? 

I have immense respect for prostitutes. In fact, one of my favorite classics is "The Lady of the Camellias" by Alexandre Dumas fils. I read it when I was 9, 11, 14, and 16, can't remember how many times, progressing from an abridged version to a comic-like version with black-and-white drawings, and then to the original copy. I sobbed for days, maybe weeks, each time I read it. When I was a teen, I thought to myself: when I grew up, if I ought to be a writer, I should somehow experience this kind of life in person. Maybe a side job related to this field when I reach 20, like the young adults who work to put themselves through college in those American movies. I have had an open mind since a very young age, it's just that life has always treated me well financially. It's always a trade-off. 

The classic tragedies from all walks of life taught me to look beyond the obvious and see through things. And in reality, I hold strippers in a very high regard, I believe you gotta be gifted by the Gods and Goddesses with perfect bodies to master this job. I dream of measuring up to it, and I know that practice can help compensate for my body's shortcomings. Perhaps I could be a successful one with my own niche market, regardless of my age. 

I understand where they come from when they leave nasty comments on my accounts, calling me a prostitute; but they won't understand why that doesn't affect me at all, based on my experiences from a teen till today. We are from entirely different systems.

So, am I a prostitute? My answer is this: whatever answer you formed in your mind regarding me, it is only an indication of your own life path, your experiences and understanding of your own world. It says a lot about what kind of world you are coming from, too. And you have all the freedom in the world to forge your own opinions about anything, including me. Although most of the time people mistake the derivation of brainwashing-induced quick views to freedom. Keep an eye out for that. The thinking regarding me your mind cultivates provides me no value about myself, but only about the thinking my mind cultivates about you. And to that, I only have a limited amount of interest and energy to draw a very generalized picture from the tens of thousands, maybe millions, of your comments. 

So am I a prostitute? That's a great question and the right one to ask!


Sometimes maybe you just want to see me being here, 

spoke for 4 minutes but actually conveyed nothing?

Strawberries

Been in this Starbucks for more than a month now. The cute cashier who remembered my name today told the cashier who was serving me that "She is Momo". The Cameroonian guy with whom I always share a table chatted a little with me, telling me he might go back to Cameroon at the end of the year, after twenty times of smile and "Can I sit here?" or "Hey, you again, can I sit here?" I told him about our summer plans. And the cute young Latino cashier brought the coffee I ordered to the table for me while I was busy chatting with the Cameroonian. 

Human connections. Always what I have been looking for. Random chats in the street make me happy. Random in the sense that it's a total mix of people, no specific purpose of being there, just passing by. Chat a little about our respective lives, what bothers us, what makes us happy, and what's happening right now that catches our attention. 

Whenever kids look at me, I smile at them. Kids often stare at people, and most people don't notice. I don't pay 100% attention, but if I see it, I 100% would smile at them. 

Most people you meet in life, you only meet for once. Recurrence is extremely rare. With whoever I meet and catch a little of my attention, I give my 100%, because I know from the next second until the end, they will not be there. Maybe at the very end, when we all go back to be a part of the Gods/Goddesses, you'll see them and remember them again. But in the Earthy life, ya, nice to meet ya and farewell. 

There are some places or things I wanted to revisit, but most of the time, that doesn't happen. Subconsciously, I always know. Hence, wherever new I go or whatever new I do, I take a trip of it. Entirely immerse myself in the experience. Like that time when I went to Walmart to buy Magnums. Walmart is not my usual route, I took a trip to enjoy Walmart. I got my Magnums. Stopped to talk to the Latino guys outside who were selling fresh strawberries and cherries. They asked me while I was stepping in, and when I saw them again while stepping out, I couldn't say no. Inside Walmart I talked to multiple people about where to find Magnums and how to pay etc. Walmart was ancient, they didn't have G-pay or A-pay, I had to fetch a physical card.  

I Venmoed the Latino guys, got a whole box of strawberries and a bag of cherries. Cherries were for Maa, she loves cherries. The Latino guys used the same Venmo account, which belonged to their "boss". I was wondering how that worked, how they knew who sold how much. Basically, I bought from both of them because I just couldn't say no to either. Paid two times, but to the same Venmo account. Guess it's essentially a family business, with the "boss" most likely being their brother or cousin. 

I miss the Yemeni guys who work in the vegetable market in Hayward. I haven't visited there for months! Even after my parents returned to China, I grew accustomed to bulk-buying at Costco because there was always something to purchase for Maa - new shoes, pants, socks, hats, vitamins, creams, and many gifts to bring back to India. The vegetables and fruits are always so fresh in their market! The young guys work there; their uncle owns it. It's also a family business. I enjoy spending time getting to know their stories - how they ran away from Yemen and settled here, how many months/years they got stuck in which country; who are here with wife and kids; whose wife still back in Yemen; where they kids go to school to or why their kids don't go to school. I will surely go back for a visit before the end of June, when our summer trip starts. 

Finished the gift shopping for the coming trip. Filled two whole suitcases, one big one and one small, for a total of 45kg, all gifts, for London, China, and India. I can already imagine the happiness that people experience when they receive their gifts, especially in India. One time we spent Durga Puja in the village, and I prepared a whole suitcase of kids' stuff - nice toys, books, stationery, and candies/chocolates. The village kids crowded around me and politely took turns to get their gifts. They were sooooo happy, which made me sooooo happy. This time we'll spend a few days in the village again, because the new Shiva temple we funded to construct is almost done. Oh India, whenever we are there, we carry a loooot of cash and give it away to whoever helps us, drivers, carriers, guides, cleaners, cashiers, servers, you name it. The gratitude on people's faces was so sincere, a testament to the respect and cherishing they felt. 

A batch of kids, from the family helper's (leftmost) family, who lived in the village,
 arrived to get sweets, a tradition during Durga Puja or any Indian festival. 
Little did they know that they would get sweets, toys, and all kinds of stuff 😁
2018 October

After I purchased the whole box of strawberries, I drove back home. When I was exiting the highway, a man stood there with a sign. I drove past him, couldn't stop. So I drove forward and stopped the car at a parking lot, took out 3 baskets of strawberries from the total of 6, put them in a plastic bag, and drove back to the highway exit. I stopped my car on the side, rolled down my window, called the man, and gave him the bag. He was so happy. I wish I could do more, but sometimes I don't carry cash or a whole box of fresh strawberries! 

Raj told me when I was giving him massages last night, "You're free, you know. I read your blog, and I don't want you to feel that you're trapped here. I never wanted to chain you down, I was only afraid that you could get your heart broken. But if you want, you are free to love whoever you want in whatever way you want. Remember that I'm always here for you, you can always fall back." "Hmmmm, well, thank you. And ya, I was just in a bad mood, don't worry. I'll think about it later. I'm not in any rush lol!"

Not me to blame

I am immensely boring when it comes to sex: I don't have any kinks, I don't like violence, I don't like to continuously choke and gag on cocks, I can't take too heavy of neck or chest choke, I don't want to eat or swallow it, not on my face neither. I also don't enjoy much dirty talk, either in person or online. 

I think my value in this business is that I do have a very fuckable body, nothing perfect because I'm getting old and I have no breasts, no long legs, no good proportion, or anything presentable like the girls on tv, movies or porns. Still, I am really tight, wet, and warm down there, like all Asian women. And I do enjoy sex, I can't help but respond to men's movements. 

Raj was telling me how he and this other Chinese woman (33 y/o young wife of a lawyer, 2 kids) were sending dirty messages to each other. I like her too, she is wild, fascinatingly wild. I also enjoyed chatting with her, sharing stories via text after we played. She loves violent sex, almost equivalent to rape. She loves being choked and pressed really hard. She can keep choking and gagging on cocks for hours nonstop and she loves men to cum on her face, in her mouth and she would love to swallow it. 

I am genuinely happy that Raj and she have a connection. I asked Raj, "Do you think you could fall in love with her? At least some feelings, so you want to go out on dates with her?" "No." "I'm really hoping you do, so I can finally go on too? Please keep an eye out for that?"

I am patiently waiting for that day to come, maybe years later, perhaps a whole decade, after my kids have gone to college. Hopefully, by then, there'll still be some guy out there whom I'm naturally attracted to, and he is attracted to me too, so I could go on regular dates with him to see if we could explore love together. Different kinds of love. I'd love to go watch movies with him, eat ice cream somewhere, go on hikes, even try a little camping or traveling together. He could be young, could be old, could be rich, could be poor. I have never measured men using societal measuring sticks, and I will stay the same. 

But Raj insists that he absolutely can't love anybody else, so ya, I'm not allowed to be open, for now. 

In this game we play, I have never looked for sex itself, unlike most people. That instantly put me at a disadvantage, I think. After the novelty wears off, there won't be connections left to find, because who wants complications and the burden of emotions? 

However, I am an extremely valuable asset in conventional settings: a fabulous wife to keep and the best mother anyone could imagine. I work hard for others. I take over the housework and labor on it for hours and hours. Every day, I spend 8 to 10 hours (when no grandparents are here to help) cooking three meals for everyone, cleaning dishes, wiping down all surfaces, washing and folding everybody's clothes, arranging the house, buying groceries, and driving the kids to various activities. I sacrifice my years, my youth, and my career so that others can have comfortable lives and healthy development. 

Meanwhile, I am exceptionally low-maintenance; I don't wear expensive makeup or clothes, and I don't really care about any of that, actually. Also, I am so confident and self-assured that I am drama-free. People like to take me traveling because I am surprisingly easygoing, and I am super fun. I always work for them: I clean and cook for people, I pack their luggage, and wash their dirty clothes. 

For Raj, he thinks I am super smart too, and he wants my opinions on various matters, especially when he needs to make crucial career decisions. 

Raj told me, "I am feeling so lucky to have you. You are so so so smart, usually women that smart and capable, they feel different. Especially as they grow older, they become stiff, uneasy, and unpleasant. But you never change, you stay soft and easygoing, you stay tolerant and helpful. Everything eventually comes down to how kind you are. You are so enormously warm and kindhearted, you never make anybody feel even a little bit unpleasant when you're around; on the contrary, everyone is so happy with you because you always make so much effort for all of them." 

See, what a fabulous asset to have. 

But the thing with assets is, under the framework of this world, the patriarchal world, assets are personal belongings; usually, men don't share them. They are considered property, should be owned privately, and owning private property is protected by law in a republic.

I didn't set up the world. I lack any sort of power to change how this world functions. So, I remain a valuable asset to my owner, for as long as my owner wishes to dispose, exchange, or trade me. Only he has the power; I don't.

Women do break out of this setup, such as single moms. I have so much respect for them. But in my circumstances, there's no reason for me to break out -- I have a loving husband who respects, values, and loves me tremendously. It's the best setup for my kids to grow up into healthy human beings. Our world is built around the family model of one father and one mother as the primary caregivers, and all social setups are derived from this concept. 

Monogamy (or polygyny) -- men, and their ownership of everything, right? Remember my writing in the artists' gathering at Noah-Leena's house? 

I didn't know anything else existed when I was young, and my parents really needed me to give them grandchildren, so I walked into this model, which was the only option for my entire life, and it remains so to this day. Men I know also respect this model, whether they agree or not. They would first respect other men's properties, set up boundaries, and then act within those limits. This world that's built by men sustains because the men in it generally are happy about the rules and setups and have no intention of change. 

So what is there for me to say? I get by day by day, in the meantime, for years, I have been ready to go. Yes, I do enjoy my life; everything couldn't be more perfect for me. But other than my children, this world doesn't give me much at all. Or, I don't have expectations from this world at all. I am simply surviving here so that I can raise my children and help them as much as possible. I am still here because I can't leave my kids behind. I also can't go before my parents. Then that's that, simple as it is. 

So funny, today I wrote a brief note before the full-length version of whatever I've written on my sci-fi novel, "The War", and set up the entry to automatically post on August 30th, in case I don't return after my summer trip to China and India. This should be something I do each time before taking a flight or traveling somewhere, especially for international trips. Not for anybody else, but for me -- I spent so much time writing my novel; I have to post it somehow, even if I'm gone. 

The funny part is, I felt absolutely nothing writing that post down. How psychopathic I am. Everything feels like a dream to me, and I can't wait to wake up from it. My parents are so scared of dying, and that always amuses, as well as puzzles me. If I know I am not leaving my kids behind, so they are not going to suffer from the loss of me, I would have zero hesitation to go. Happy as I always am. 

That's why it will eventually fall on my shoulders, the fight for justice and freedom. It's written in my fate. If it's not me, then who? Who is this hard-boned, psychopathic, and fearless like me? Personally, I don't know any! Most people are not ready to go. Too many attachments. But I have been walking a fine line of an ultimate loner for decades: left everything and eloped with an Indian to an entirely new country, was ostracized and punished by the entire Chinternet, stayed connected but highly solitary all these years. 

I let everyone in, but no one was truly let in.  

For that, I blame this world.
