Hi, I’m Jamie Pham. I currently live in Southern California working as a freelance writer, a social media manager, and run my own clothing line (One Two Threads). I’ve carried around a notebook with me for years now and usually jot down notes, ideas, and random things so I want to treat this newsletter as an extension of that.

Reflection

Jamie Pham

Mar 17, 2023

I’ve been thinking about my life lately and how far I’ve come.

I still can’t believe we are now in 2023.

The last few years have been a blur and I can’t help but to think it was a waste.

Why a waste?

I feel like my life has been on a stand still. I haven’t progressed in my personal life and I really don’t have anything to show for it.

It seems like I still have the same goals and ambitions from a few years earlier and I’m not taking any steps to achieve them.

I’m just coasting through life and it’s like I am content with it.

Something happened a few days ago that opened my eyes. I really need to get off my ass and make use of this life I have.

I really hope 2023 will be a better year but I know it’s up to myself to make that happen.

Some Recommendations:

Snowfall: Bummed this is the last season :(

Are L.A.’s parrots getting louder? (LA Times): I’ve gotten used to these parrots and have learned to tune them out.

Exploring Vans shoes history through its long-running Alhambra store (Pasadena Star News): Vans have been a staple in my life and it’s pretty cool to see the Alhambra store still thriving.

Thanks for reading!
