Do you ever feel as though you're not accomplishing much? That perhaps, with the work everyone else is putting in compared to yourself, you're not going to get ahead in life? Sometimes, I feel that way. I feel afraid. I feel no good. I feel lazy. Then I remind myself that I want to live life, that it's insane to want to work all day out of a ( Read more... )

Why did I act so bored, apathetic, and unattached in class today while we were having group discussion ( Read more... )

I'm an anxious person. I think that defines me. Honestly, I'm not the most ideal person to date, unless we're extraordinarily (think about the words: extra, ordinary) similar. I won't be able to make up for our differences. I'm not, on the whole, particularly happy. It's really not my fault. Fault, by the way, doesn't REALLY, if we know much about ( Read more... )

Went on a date tonight. It was... fine. Haha. I might as well just have said it was bad, right? He was a good kisser, and I think he's intelligent, but I don't know if our personalities exactly "mesh." Then again, who's the last person I thought I meshed extremely well with ( Read more... )

So, I feel so, so, so much better. For the past four days, I've had the flu, and you'd think that things would have started out worse and gotten better, but they actually started out better and took a sharp turn for the worse yesterday. I cannot tell you, how absolutely awful I felt. It was the most unbearable headache I've ever had. I really think ( Read more... )

Why am I still awake, seriously? What's there to think or write about?

A lot of things, all too burdensome for my mind right now. No, they're just sad topics, and I don't want to dwell or get stuck in the details.

Let's talk about what's good in life.

I have intelligent and wonderful friends. They may not be perfect for me, but nobody has friends ( Read more... )

I just broke up with Nick. Despite myself, a couple of times, I felt a little choked up.

I planned it. I thought about it over a period of a couple weeks, until finally I came to a definite decision--I couldn't compromise on certain things in our relationship. I amped myself up to talk to him in the most sensitive, emotionally mature and receptive ( Read more... )
