it's weird.
looking back, i was a pretty unhappy little kid most of the time. and now i’m probably an equally unhappy big kid, though i think i’ve gotten pretty good at hiding it. or at least at carrying on with my day-to-day life despite it. i never know what i want, i never know how to feel about certain things, and i am terrible at making decisions. those three things have been magnified as of...

i feel like a search for my name on my school newspaper’s website shouldn’t be nearly as triggering as it is.

the aggie is really frustrating.

i’ve written and re-written this post at least a dozen times, and i can’t seem to express myself the way i want to. so i’ll just make a list:
- i feel frustrated.
- my mom got laid off at work.
- california does not value education the way it should.
- i was excited i got my financial aid check finally, but i just had to spend most of it.
that was a lot easier.

i know very little about myself or the world around me. that terrifies me beyond belief, but it’s that terror that gets me out of bed each morning- gotta learn something new today, gotta do something i’ve never done before, gotta keep myself feeling alive for just one more day. i’m learning a lot.

a few years later, i...

your voice will shake, but that’s okay.
you will speak too fast and people will stare at you confused but you’ll be able to pick up on their cues and you’ll repeat yourself when you need to. now more slowly this time. maybe pick words that are easier for you to pronounce. if you get nervous, just smile, and maybe people will smile back at you, and that’ll make you feel...
