a reflection on twenty-one:
-rediscovered my academic self. found a weird kind of masochistic enjoyment in staying up all night researching/ writing/ LEARNING! remembered how much i like to think about issues.
-though about what it means to be a woman. all the time. especially in terms of my behavior in relationships.
-experienced the biggest heart break to date. don't regret it in any way.
-reconnected with my family. particularly, found a place of understanding with my mom.
-started running! realized i am young and can do shit with my body and that's fuckin COOL! i've never thought of myself as athletic at all, but i felt sexy and fit pretty consistently this year.
-took a plan b for the first time. i'm going to say this means i am becoming more responsible about my irresponsibility. (...)
-reignited my artistic self (violin with tobie milford, german theater workshop at asu)
-had a really flowering social life. felt so totally supported by all of my friends. made new friends! (actually a huge deal!!)
-fell in love multiple times (as per usual).
i guess it was a great year. i felt consistently pretty positive this year, which led me to have a kind of identity crisis at one point because i've always considered cynicism as foundational to my personal identity. but maybe i have progressed. CHANGE. COOL.
twenty-two is a great number. let's do this!
