“Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.”- Snoopy

My head held up high

Copeland- Chin Up

It was certainly a turbulent week. It has reminded me that every person is fighting their own demons and issues. Whether it is something as petty as trying to figure out what to eat for lunch or something serious like wondering where the next lunch is going to come from, these battles slowly chip away our sanity and continues to wear down our walls. And for better or worse, new barriers are erected-- eventually we find ourselves drowning in our cubicle of misery.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to let my friends, whoever happened to be curious enough to read this, that I am here. Even though I may not be always around. I'm never quite on schedule, but always on time. Similarly, you're not alone. For one, I am most definitely struggling,and most of the time losing, on various fronts. This is evident by the episode I had a week ago where I pretty much went through the three stages of emotions in fifteen minutes (self admittedly, the last stage lasted much, much longer.) And I know, especially from these experiences, that while I am the one who has to deal with these problems, I couldn't have done it without the care and support of those who care about me. And for that, I'm thankful and indebted to them.

I know that this summer has brought a lot of strife into people's lives. But I think it's necessary to keep in mind that it is these obstacle, the assessment and overcoming of them, that give us the opportunity to better our character. And lastly, the most important part is that you keep moving forward. (My God, that phrase has so many meanings. Versa-fucking-tility at it's best.)
