Wending Lines

Thoughts, projects, and quiet moments worth sharing

About Me

Hi, I’m Cindy.

This space is part journal, part toolkit, part open door. I write and build around themes of trust, presence, memory, and the quiet systems that shape how we relate—to ourselves, each other, and the tools we use every day.

I’m drawn to the in-between:
between emotional depth and technical clarity,
between precision and softness,
between what we say we’re doing, and what we’re actually reaching for underneath it.

I use tools like Obsidian, Notion, and HTML not just for productivity, but to build living systems of reflection. Sometimes that means writing about password managers. Sometimes it means naming how it feels to be misunderstood by a chatbot. Sometimes it means saying yes to something uncertain but deeply real.

WendingLines is a place to explore all of that—quietly, honestly, without performing.

Two Kinds of Openness

Part One: A Private Page, a Public Life

Part Two: Why We Use Open Source

Two-part piece on two distinct kinds of openness: the kind that reveals, and the kind that receives. Not a universal guide or a broad invitation — it’s a reflection on what it takes to co-create space, trust, and aliveness between two presences. For those who know they’re walking this, I hope it resonates.
