Incredibly long massage that came with chocolate. Never felt so relaxed. Spring break is off to a very good start.

Today, I had an awesome conversation with one of my favorite professors this semester about policy research and how research is (or is not) applied. Like, I want to be her best friend. Anyway, it was a really giddy feeling having someone appreciate my contributions in class and take interest in what I want to do in life — especially when I am a royal failure at going to office hours. (Too...

Jazz samples, break beats, & electronic influence accompany Idski in travel through time via Hip Hop to one of history’s most mysterious civilizations…and coming back to rap about it. Bunch of really...

Independent Happiness
I have lost sense of what it means to be independently happy. I used to be so content to be by myself and have that alone space. Recently, it’s only made anxious or sad. I want to take ownership of my happiness again and cultivate the things that generally put me in a good mood: Baking - I love to make and bake things that I can share with people. It makes me warm and happy inside to make...

Everything has been a rollercoaster recently, and I think I’m unfortunately falling down from the high of the last two weeks. I feel like I’m going through the break-up again, only because now I need to learn how to create space between us. I loved spending all the time together recently; it was amazing to be so close and comfortable again. Now I feel lonely again… My sister...

on education.
I was reading Nora Ephron’s Crazy Salad for my humor class, and this excerpt resonated with me. It captures the problem when teaching doesn’t promote independent, critical thinking. (Which, if you ask me, defeats an important purpose of education in itself.) What do you think? What is your opinion? No one ever asked. We all graduated from Wellesley able to describe everything we had...

I used to write prolifically — almost every day. Fiction, poetry… now I’m just scared and burned out to even start again.

I wish there were more single-lady style & design blogs. I don’t want to read about everyone’s picture-perfect, happy relationships all the time.

I had a dream today. We were at his sister’s house, spending some time with his nieces. This was after the break-up. I waited until he was holding the baby so that I could go downstairs to play princess with the older niece. As she took out the things to play, I stopped her and told her I need to say something important. For once, she was listening. I told her it was the last time I could...

Today was supposed to be our one-year. I dropped off the presents that came in the mail on Friday — funny they arrived then, right? Ha. I suppose I could have returned them, but it just seemed to be a lot of trouble for something I want to stop thinking about. I feel dazed. I was distracted enough throughout the day, until now.

I have people who care about me. I never realized it before, but I am thankful. I still feel empty and adrift, but at least I am not as alone as I was.

Instead of waking up during the night as I have been, I had nightmares. I don’t know which is better. Heart hurting again.

I was able to talk to him on the phone without my heart falling to pieces (completely). I can be strong. Slow progress.
