maybe i’m a strange person.

i’m not sure.

or it’s the introvert in me. but i feel like it’s hard for me to connect with people my age.

am i living life on fast forward? or am i just a product of personality and life experience?

when i consider where i could be instead: single, roommates, partying, dating/hook ups… i don’t want it

so maybe i’m in the right place for me. and eventually everyone else will catch up.

I love this video. It makes me want to get things done! (Or at least sit in a lecture where these professors talk about their research.)

Amen!

Whenever I walk near the lake fill I always marvel that I would’ve been walking on water 50 years ago.

Oh, Lea Michelle from Glee, you just tweeted how you worked with Garry Marshall today on your movie? Well, that’s cool. I hung out with him and Scott on Saturday, you know, watching football and stuff. Yeah. We are totally BFF. But don’t be a diva about it.

my master’s classes are making me feel old. we’re talking about developmental theories and other students (who are around my age) like to relay information about themselves in our discussions. I can’t relate to a lot of what they say.

the average person my age is single, job-hopping, avoiding responsibility, financially dependent, potentially living with their parents, trying to “find themselves” (or whatever)… And me? I am none of those things.

I’ve been supporting myself since I was 17 and even before then the “support” I received from my mom is questionable. (she can probably relate quite a bit to my classmates.)

I am too serious. too stable. too responsible.

But when I think of just letting go, doing whatever and not considering the repercussions of my actions, it is terrifying and sounds horrible.

The craziest thing I do is buy chai from Starbucks too often.

Watch out for me, world!

my life is such a wreck. the past few weeks have been an emotional mess because of issues in my family and now i’ve got grad school to add to everything i was already trying to balance.

it’s so hard to focus right now. stupid presentation.

i am so proud when i am able to make clear arguments against another person’s ridiculous behavior and win out. there have been too many times in my life when the people who are supposed to be supportive and logical have used emotional and physical abuse to stop me from speaking against them. it made me terrified to stand up for myself; i would literally start crying. and that person who is supposed to be the reliable, positive figure in my life? yeah, she’d laugh at me and mock me for crying when trying to stand up for myself against her.

and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

i can’t pretend like it’s okay any longer.
