my life.
what’s love telling me to do right now?
It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.
Everyone is overridden by thoughts;
that’s why they have so much heartache and sorrow.
At times I give myself up to thought purposefully;
but when I choose,
I spring up from those under its sway.
I am like a high-flying bird,
and thought is a gnat:
how should a gnat overpower me?— Rumi
This weekend I made strawberry daiquiris, bought a cute tea mug, explored, caught up with some old friends, made a couple of new ones, made myself comfortable visiting Bellingham, had lots of laughs, laid in the sun, slept on a cold couch, enjoyed it nonetheless. a lot. I am forgetful, I am sloppy and clumsy, I do homework all the time and I work when I’m not doing homework.I am back to my old self.
“Doesn’t it mean anything to you? We could get along.”
“Of course it does. But I don’t want anybody but you. I don’t want any one else. And I know it’s perfectly simple.”
“Yes, you know it’s perfectly simple.”
“It’s alright for you to say that, but I do know it.”
“Would you do something for me now?”
“I’d do anything for you.”
“Would you please please please please please please please stop talking?”

I miss my friends. I hide from them these days. I need summer so I can feel human/on the same page as everyone else. I feel like I can’t talk to anyone right now, because no one is where I am. Adjusting, getting better, learning, de-romanticizing life.
