Today I spent a lot of time with my mom. I thought getting out of the house might improve her mood, even a little, so I suggested we visit the aquarium this weekend. We've never been (at least not to the Utah aquarium), and doing something new could help break up Mom's routine of misery ( Read more... )

College to me is like an electric wire fence when it comes to my friendships - we can see each other through the divide, we're so close and right there ( Read more... )

It's crazy to me I haven't made a journal entry here since 2011. I wish I hadn't stopped. My writing has suffered, though that's more from having shaky self-esteem paired with neglecting to write often, I'm certain.
