You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

More than whelmed

Yesterday was one of those days where at one point I just had to let myself cry for awhile. I'm feeling overwhelmed by a lot of things these days. Learning about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is hard. Trying to determine my place in the school and in my life right now is hard. Feeling a little isolated is hard. Not getting enough alone-time is hard. Not having the time to really connect with my friends is hard. Working too much is hard. Having a crazy-long commute is hard. Not knowing what I want is hard...

*sigh*

The list goes on.

I am ok. I'm hanging in there. Sometimes things aren't easy, and that's ok. Let's just say that I'm really looking forward to coming home for Christmas.

holy crap, I'm so on the same page. seriously. Want to sign my "Suck It, November!" petition?

i would write you a long email about this, but even my internet isn't functioning well ( it likes blogs sometimes, and hates gmail most of the time). Anywho, I think I'm going to run away to join the circus. I'm packing a peanutbutter sandwich and a blanket and I'm off. What are you packing?
