About Every Tiny Thought

Every Tiny Thought is a weekly-ish newsletter where I share stories about growing up in China, leaving home, and finding a new one in the US.

Sometimes, I’ll share the books that have helped me cope with homesickness, find new identities, and make sense of the world.

While most posts are free, a paid subscription is the best way to support this publication and makes my writing possible.

I hope you consider becoming a paid subscriber to receive essays where I explore topics that are deeply personal to me and join a community of those who live far away from home and are searching for their place in the world.

If you are not ready to commit to a paid subscription, you can buy me a coffee to show your one-time support to caffeinate my writing sessions. It helps me more than you realize.
