I guess it's too much to expect (at our age, or at any age) for the person you're in a relationship with to remain in your life forever. Instead, we should just expect to learn something from that person that will enrich our own lives. I think if you learn something, then it's not a waste. And you don't have to have bad feelings towards that person ( Read more... )

I feel consumed by this negative energy, by this weight. I have spurts of inspiration, of strength, but am always pulled down again. Daily. I'm sick of it. Andrew was a crutch of sorts. Concentrating on caring for him made it easy to pass through my days without goals. And now- my days are fine. I see family and friends. Just got a job with the ( Read more... )

I feel as though I've reached an epiphany. In my life I want to: see the world, make a difference in people's lives that need it, and have a family. In my twenties, I can teach in diverse locations.

Anyways, my 8 a.m. (critical reading and rhetorical analysis) is pretty freakin' amazing. I like the idea of being able to change people's perceptions just by effective rhetoric. My ( Read more... )

I rode home at 11:30 tonight, forcing great gulps of frosty air into my lungs, looking at the stars, up behind the black bare trees, and gasping at Orion. How long, how long since I noticed stars; no longer, now, mere inane pinpricks on a smothering sky of cheap cloth- but symbols, islands of light, soft, mysterious, hard, cold, - all things, as ( Read more... )

I'm so confused.

So, I found my if-I-was-going-to-prom-with-the-perfect-guy-and-had-several-thousand-to-drop dress ( Read more... )

I'm really devastated about the Virginia Tech shootings. To randomly kill innocent people like that, people with dreams and ambitions and a whole life in front of them. I just can't believe it. I just read this article... I think in the back of Time a couple issues back about how it's really important to die in a dignified way. I mean no one ever ( Read more... )
