The Author and Form

Why is she Ramen Girl Don’t Hesitate? Why was it created?

In math, what is the constant? What is the delta sign again?

Here’s a story of an individual taking off the “bandaid of the narrative.” She asked to meet with her director, and the director had a feeling. The director asks, “So, are you moving to California?” Her response was an inevitable “Yes.”

With winds in her sails, the individual purges 95% of her earthly possessions with the help of an unwavering community in Columbus, Ohio. She lands with a magnificent smile in Los Angeles and, two weeks later, drives to the Bay Area to surprise her Mom on Mother’s Day. Her sense of self unfolds in an odyssey, and she discovers her lifelong friend.

“Ramen Girl” because she dreams of the art of sitting, sharing ramen and experiences with individuals she meets, and observing what it is.

“Don’t Hesitate” because our resistance seems to want to reappear unconsciously to make us stay within our comfort zones and what is familiar.
