The good, the bad, and the beautiful thoughts about life

12/29/2022 Every 30 minutes you meet a different set of people. At 7:50 the bus will greet all those determined to be early to their 8:30 AM lecture. At 8:05 you’ll meet the ones who probably woke up early enough to make the 7:50 but took their time getting ready and organized before leaving the…

3/08/2022 I enjoy order, routine and being depended on. I arrive no later than 4 minutes early to work even if I leave 5 minutes after I had intended. “Arriving early is expected” except that I walk 20 minutes to a 7 AM opening shift for an academic building that doesn’t hold classes, on a…

2/23/2022 Lately, I’ve been feeling very drawn to blind people. Maybe it’s the idea of feeling instead of seeing. The reliance on emotion and physicality of others. Presence matters more than the quantity of interaction and familiarity is an essence rather than the location itself. Maybe it’s the parallel of trust; where a belief isn’t…

1/27/2022 I’m looking for a different type of pain, does anyone have one? I study. I sleep. I go to class. I go to class. I go to class. I go to class. And I go to class. I study. Then I sleep. I work. I go to class. I go to class. I study.…

1/04/2022 4 is my favorite number because it can be drawn and accepted two distinctly different ways and definitely not because it was my 4th grade crushes favorite. I’d never admit it but it’s also because it’s not 3 or 5 and everyone always picks 3 or 5 and not because I just didn’t feel…

12/22/2021 When you look outward at the world, you’re really just taking in the light it projects. So when you look into someone else’s eyes what are you taking in? If you both are taking in the surroundings but it is blocked by the lack of distance from the other person, then are you reaching…

8/26/2021 We are told to question everything; A key characteristic in the most successful and revolutionary people of the past. I must be too intelligent because I’m beginning to even question myself (kidding). Do I actually agree with this persons point of view? Do I genuinely like what I’m doing, where I’m predicted to end…

8/12/2021 I’m terrible at hiding my emotions. I hate surprises. Small talk scares me. I don’t think my lack of this key survival instinct makes me a more real person, but rather a less enjoyable one. I don’t comment on acquaintances Instagram posts or slide up on their updated Snapchat glimpse of their excursion just…

7/25/2021 We carry the weight of our past with us everywhere we go. Literally with the hair resting on our shoulders, the length of our finger nails and the skin on our arms. I wonder if this is why I always feel so much better when I shave my legs at the end of the…

6/23/2021 I have been a lifeguard for the past 2 years. I would describe lifeguarding as a relativity easy but brain-numbing(ly) boring job. You can only ref so many pick up games of sharks and minnows and rate so many poorly executed dives. The first hour or so of a shift isn’t bad but as the…
