I almost can't believe that another year is about to begin. Time is literally flying by. It seems like I just moved out of residence, but I'm a week away from moving back in and starting another year. I guess I'm excited for it, but also stressed because it's not going to be easy. I know what I have to do, what I want, and what I have to do to get there.
I'm guessing this will be another year of stressful studying, cram nights, bizarre parties, nights that I won't want to remember, and nights that I'll never forget.

And over the years, I've learnt that there a lot of things you can buy, but I've also learnt that the most important things in life cannot be bought.

That was then.
This is now.

i love nerds

Why am I even surprised? I knew it all along.

"You never leave someone behind, you take a part of them with you and leave a part of yourself behind."

so so what, i'm still a rockstar

g: i remember you wanted to be a lawyer ever since I met you when we were young.
t: noo way.. i definitely didn't know that till much later on.
g: no really! i remember you saying that
t:no, i'm pretty sure i wanted to be a rockstar back then. for real.

I guess seeing so much hurt and sadness in the world has hardened my heart a little. It's made me a skeptic of a lot of things. I don't know if I can still be that girl that used to be believe in Disney happy endings because I know that reality is far from that. All the politics in the world, the dirty tactics to get money, fame, power, I just question whether people can see beyond that anymore. I question if we live in a world that is too entrenched in power, if cooperation is merely a disguise as a means of extending power. I want so badly to believe that it's not.
I want to believe that you're not all the same.

Nothing is ever good enough for you. But right now, I don't need to hear it.

endings&beginnings

I can't believe another school year is about to begin. It's as if I've never even left. I'm excited to move back into res, and as I've been looking through my photos of the past year, I've realized that all the little things made this year so special. It never seizes to amaze me how strangers can become the best of friends, how one moment can change the rest of your life. Although many of us may be going on our separate paths this year, I will never ever forget the memories we had together, the rules we broke, those late-nights...And even though sometimes we have to leave people in our pasts, those memories will always be a part of my life, a part of who I am. But this is a new year, so I'm changing the pictures, and tucking away the old ones, not because I've forgotten about you, but because I need to leave room for some new memories.
