So, I've been thinking about my social and personal predicament all day, and I think I've found the answer. I keep being hurt by other people, by how they treat me, by how they respond to me, and I couldn't get over it because I care so much. I truly despise people whose lives only revolve around themselves and treat others like crap, so I always try to be nice to everyone and treat them like they deserve to be treated. I don't really care whether or not people think I'm cool, but I do care how they act towards me. Anyway, the past few weeks have been really hard on me in that department, and, combined with the fact that I haven't been able to do anything productive lately, it's been making me really unhappy. I was throwing blame in all sorts of different directions, and it wasn't until today that I discovered what the real reason was.
I've been so wrecked about everything that I haven't been able to be productive at all. My apartment is becoming increasingly unbearable, I haven't worked on any compositions or arrangements, I haven't practiced. Other than work, the blog, and studying, life has been shit. I always was the kind of girl who is happiest when productive, so it makes perfect sense that being unproductive would make me unhappy. I thought about it for a while, and I've come up with a set of rules to start following in the hopes that doing so will lead to a happier Tam.
The Rules For Better Living are as follows:
1. Hold yourself to the same standards as everyone else.
2. put your productivity and work first.
3. Remember to take time for yourself
4. find a balance between 2 and 3
5. eat consciously and healthfully
6. Don't be a shut in
7. keep your spaces clean and organized.
8. Remember to take time for special projects
that's it for now.

1. Register for classes
2. remail rachel's present
3. go to class.
4. clean apartment
