Hi, my name is XinYi and this is Love Letters from a Creative Chimera: a newsletter & microblog capturing things, people, and ideas that have made me fall absolutely in love with life over and over again. This podcast is the audio companion where I read my letters out loud for those who prefer to listen rather than read. As someone who has always romanticized the ability to communicate effectively through written and spoken language, I’m hoping that the combination of writing for my blog and reading for my podcast will allow me to continually analyze and improve my fluency.

Dearest Abhas,
I am so excited to have met you right at the crux of the conclusion of another of your orbits around the sun! I love endings as much as I love beginnings because, in part, they are one and the same...

And I am so keen on this beginning -- your next year of life, because I have observed (through your works) the experiences you have folded into the layers of your existence. You live with such acute curiosity and fierce playfulness that it is impossible not to feel starstruck by your #https://creativechimera.substack.com/p/-a-love-letter-to-bigkidenergy. ⚡️

Your solo travels, photography capturing the beauty of mother nature, 3D model artworks, pursuit of writing a novel, YouTube hustle, and countless other passion projects awe and inspire me. A true polymath, renaissance artist, and creative chimera -- you are exploring the breath of possibilities that life has to offer to its fullest.

Which is why I'm so eager to see what paths you'll carve for yourself in life. I know we spoke of our shared distress over lack of linear application, but at my core, I don't believe life has to be so prescribed. It is the breath of our imagination that makes us human (yes, a play on the idea that you shared with me -- that creativity is as essential as breathing for people like us). 🎐
Please continue creating magic ✨Happy Birthday Abhas!
love,
nowhere girl in Chicago
