My tribe came through today. I had a bad day. Not a bad day where everything major went wrong but where everything small went wrong. Those are sometimes even worse. Because a lot of the time, my brain can process major things going wrong. A single catastrophic event that was totally out of my control….

Suggested soundtrack: The Winner Is – Mychael Danna and DeVotchKa I’ve always tried to be weirdly honest on this blog. I do this because I believe in transparency (even if it’s only with strangers) but also because I think it plays into the central goal of this blog: to better understand myself and my relationships by closely…
A Day of Love
I expected to feel alone or empty a lot of today. I actually did at certain parts of the day. Texting my friends and seeing how many people I wasn’t seeing on the day of love made me a touch sad. However, an amazing thing happened in the late morning. It started earlier in the…
Shelter
Have you ever been quietly content? There is much on your mind. There are crazy emotions swirling up in the noggin and in your heart but there isn’t anything you can do about them as you sit so you choose to be quietly content with things as they are. Currently quietly content. Family, friends, lovers,…
And just like that, all of me…
Hi friends. Well I did it. I finished the fall semester. I survived. Not unscathed (this is Camp Bobo) but I did it! Then I survived New Years. I have always attached sentimental meaning/ value to the actual day and the day before because I’m a cancer through and through. Emotions, connections — those are…
As expected, being home is a little tricky now. Everything is a lot more fast paced and I am slightly overwhelmed with it all. I’m like a kid learning to walk again after walking for all my life. Imagine someone incredibly frustrated because they can’t seem to hack something that they’ve already accomplished. It’s getting better…
How Great
So I’m sitting at the airport in California right now. My time abroad has ended and the strongest emotion I’m feeling is gratitude. I’m happy I was able to go away and continue on my journey of self discovery. I was able to remove myself enough to understand the next steps I have to take…
Chance Got me to Color
Sometimes I get in a funk and while I’m in said funk I feel like I won’t ever be able to crawl out. Most of the time I’m aware that I’m in a funk and usually work actively to claw my way of it. Sometimes, however, I don’t know. I don’t know that I’m not feeling…
Human Interface
Today I spent the day mostly sleeping and reading a Sarah Dessen book. All the while, my friend stayed with me throughout. It was nice to have someone there. Just another body being still and providing that opportunity for human interaction if wanted was nice. This isn’t to say that I haven’t been interacting with…

What a time to be alive. What a space to habite. The beat of my heart, the skip of my steps. Days pass where I simply run, jump, leap, dance from place to place. I’m in no rush; there is no fire. When life is coursing through you, sometimes you cannot help yourself — the motions just flow like…
