About Me
大家好！我是betterkay，留美八年，现在和先生定居在美丽的西雅图。我在互联网公司工作了六年，和先生一起养育着一个可爱的女儿，还有一只黏人的橘猫。
疫情期间，我曾陷入迷茫，于是开始读书，逐渐形成了自己的价值观和生活哲学。我渴望一种极简生活，把时间和精力放在真正重要的事情上。我希望记录我的生活、帮助他人、心怀感恩，并通过不断学习，成为更好的自己。
我热爱生活中的许多小事：手工DIY、摄影、烹饪、舞蹈，还有结交新朋友。曾经的我天真无畏，不知道自己的方向；如今的我目标清晰，对未来的路也有了踏实的信心。不再迷茫，不再焦虑。
2023年，我按照自己所期待的，在三十岁前成为了一个妈妈。一年前，我还在探索如何处理原生家庭带来的影响，对育儿一无所知。2024年，这一年里，作为一对普通的双职工父母，虽然没有家人协助，但我和先生通过学习和实践，克服了育儿中的重重挑战，形成了属于自己的育儿方式。
过去的我在别人设计的岗位上工作，充满焦虑和迷茫；而在2024年，我在自己设计的生活道路上稳步前行。
在忙碌的育儿和家庭生活之外，我会在博客上分享我的学习心得，也会邀请朋友们参与我的播客。如果你和曾经的我一样，怀揣着同样的迷茫或经历相似的背景，想知道我是如何蜕变的，欢迎关注我的个人博客和播客，一起分享书单和心得体会！
Hello, everyone! I'm Qing, and after eight years of studying in the U.S., I’ve now settled in beautiful Seattle with my husband. I’ve been working in the tech industry for six years, and we’re raising our adorable daughter and a very clingy ginger cat.
During the pandemic, I found myself feeling lost, so I turned to reading, which helped me shape my values and my vision for life. I’m drawn to a minimalist lifestyle, focusing my time and energy on what truly matters. Here, I hope to document my journey, share my insights, help others, and continually grow with gratitude.
I’m passionate about the little joys in life: DIY projects, photography, cooking, dancing, and making new friends. I was once a carefree soul, not knowing where I was headed; now, I have a clear vision and a grounded path forward. I’m no longer lost or anxious about what lies ahead.
In 2023, I fulfilled a personal dream of becoming a mother before turning 30. Just a year ago, I was still figuring out the impact of my family background and knew almost nothing about parenting. In 2024, as working parents without family nearby, my husband and I have overcome numerous parenting challenges through learning and practice, creating our own parenting style along the way.
I used to work in a role shaped by others, filled with anxiety and doubt; in 2024, I am steadily building a life by my own design.
Between the busy days of parenting and family life, I share my learnings here on this blog and invite friends to join me on my podcast. If you share a similar journey or background, or if you’re curious about my path to transformation, I invite you to follow along on my blog and podcast as we explore book lists, reflections, and insights together!
