Day 125 - but...


There's a short section on our lovely hillegass st invaded by fallen squishy cones. They go splat when you step on them, and at nighttime make the road look as if it were infested with brownish yellow slugs.. and you rly can't avoid stepping on them, feeling the soft tissue oozing apart under the weight of your foot... hahahah x]

ehh, these days.. i feel like i've been much of a cynical person who refuses to listen to others and impatiently tries to defend her own values. i think i've been defensive bc my values have been greatly challenged, adding to my stress from two upcoming MTs that im not rly prepared for. But those aren't legitimate reasons to shut others up. I can't always be the one speaking. I can't always be hostile toward whoever's ideas doesn't match mine. That's stupid.
That's narrow-mindedness.

Yet, at the same time, it's so hard to talk when fundamental values aren't the same, when we are not on the same page, when both sides are trying rly hard to convince the other that their values are better... it'll take me some time to calm down and to organize my thoughts in midst of my midterm panic... meanwhile, i'll pray to have the patience to listen before i try to shut the speaking person with a "but..." If that poor victim was you.. i'm sorry...

Back to bio x] i haven't started ochem yet :[[[[[[

that is TRIPPY. not what you said, which is sad and true and universal in all senses, but that the EXACT same thing is going on in my apt right now. gad this just reminds me that whatever problems I'm facing are never just happening to me. so don't despair, you're not alone.

the first paragraph sounds like the beginning of some epic romance novel. i'm so proud that my friends are such crazy writers :)
