I miss my family, for some weird reason. I think the last time I've felt this strongly about them was sometime during junior year, during which I realized that I could rely on my friends more than my family. Tonight was different, though. My brother asked whether I was coming back for spring break - I guess he's getting old enough to form concrete ( Read more... )

I've always wanted to be part of a perfectly played scene in a movie. Like the one at the end of Garden State. You see the guy getting on the plane, and he's completely set to leave. The girl is sitting on the steps in the airport, looking morose and disappointed. Maybe she's even crying - that's up to Hollywood to decide. Suddenly, the guy has an ( Read more... )

I want nothing more to be alone right now. Just to relax before the chaos begins tomorrow. Maybe it's just the music that's making me sad - I have one song on repeat, as always, and I'm stuck in a melancholy moment. Last night was the first night since I've been back on campus during which I've slept peacefully. I've been on a roller coaster of ( Read more... )

It's been so wonderful to be back, really. I do have reservations about this year, but there's enough going on right now that they're still slightly submerged beneath the surface of my mind. Unfortunately, I know that nothing will last, including my excitement to be back. At the same time, though, I suppose the opposite is also true... So, either ( Read more... )

It's been a slew of emotions for the past week, many of which have led to unhappy circumstances and complications. I blame it on the hormones - they say there is a biological reason women become moody before they start their monthly ordeal... I cried, seriously cried that is, for the first time last night. I tried to cry earlier this week because I ( Read more... )

I don't think people like me are ever meant to be with anyone else. It's just not within my nature - I'm too focused on my own thing that sometimes, having to pay attention to someone else is quite the task. And then, there are those times when I realize that I don't want to be alone. But then again, I have finally figured out that we are all alone ( Read more... )

It's been so long since I've been up this late. I am going to be completely non-functional tomorrow, and yet, I am still procrastinating my work. Hence the update. I can't concentrate anymore, but I have to finish all my work tonight. I wonder why I am being so stubborn. The birds outside must be taunting me - the only thing I can hear right now is ( Read more... )

Stop putting others ahead of yourself. You don't have to fix the world's problems. Just because someone else asks for something doesn't mean you have to give it to him/her. I've taken on another job this week - this is, of course, in addition to my seven classes and the other job that I already have. I'm also adding on research to this quarter, so ( Read more... )

It's always weird talking to you again, like a piece of my past coming back to haunt me. Although the words are kind and genuine, they are displaced. They have no place in my composition, and I just feel strangely uneasy. So, of course, I realize that the wounds are still there, and that I'm still healing. Fortunately, every round is a little more ( Read more... )

Like time. Like time to be with your friends or to remember that some go out of their ways to do things for you. Like celebrate your birthday with them. Just 5 minutes - that's all it would have been. Goodbye Scree...
