sometimes i am so happy to be who i am
and sometimes i wish i were anyone else
do we all feel like that from time to time?
today i got the most beautiful letter in the mail. it was three and a half pages long. since i picked up my mail while rushing out to the grocery store, i had to wait to read the much anticipated letter until i got to the subway. what a great way to start the day, huh? i mean really. it was so sincere, heartfelt, kind and beautiful. i'm really glad this person took the time to express themselves towards me as such.
while moving hastily to the grocery store, suitcase in hand, i realized my itinerary had said the departure time was 8:05P, much unlike the 5:05P my father told me. finding out that my father had made a mistake in telling me the departure time was 5:05P made me feel a little untied, as i headed back home.
i am glad i have one last half-day to myself. originally i thought i was leaving on wednesday & so when i found out on sunday night that i had to leave my house at 1:00P the following morning i felt like i had to calm myself otherwise i'd let unnecessary anxiety get the best of me. and so, generally calm i was, even with my roomate who is consistently alot more laid back than i am, telling me to start packing right away. this morning i woke at 9:45A with a feeling of loss lurking around my mind. loss of my last couple of days to myself before this summer of running around like a chicken with its head cut off begins.
this summer will be a great challenge: remain calm and collected while nothing is planned and chaos is knocking on my brains front door. i have confidence though!
by the way-- while in the subway i totally spotted graffiti that said 'KILL KKKOPS DEAD!!!' and it made me really happy and reminded me to stay strong and that i am not the only one.
also, i just discovered these and they're terribly good
i can't stop eating them.
i am so excited for the rest of this summer. starting from being able to go back to buddha burgers -- the BEST vegan food in the middle east (probably). so healthy, so delicious, so righteous. ha
