le vingt-deux février

Meeting someone like you has made me think a lot about life - aspirations, dreams, beliefs, and many other things in life. Now, I'm definitely not going to do what you do - but I must admit that I admire your "carpe diem" mindset. I've always told myself to take things into moderation, but lately I have definitely not been doing so. School has taken over my life to such a heavy extent, and I finally discovered how my body reacts to stress - and it's shown through abnormal behaviours of my nervous and digestive system. There is a reason why music calms me so much, and why it keeps me sane - yet I have been rejecting it and whenever I want it again, I literally have to find time to squeeze it into my schedule.

And that's stupid, isn't it? Having to squeeze in things into my life that are ACTUALLY important to me - God, friends, music, photography. It's not a life, this I'm living. I have to do what I love and love what I do - and doing all things in moderation will definitely help me do that.

I've been so stressed lately to even discover how merely being with people that I am acquainted with can make me feel so at ease. Just being able to be in a social environment is a really nice medicine for the mind and the soul.

Since I'll still be stuck in this hurricane of exceedingly difficult classes for another month and a half, the most I can do to recover physically and mentally is to at least quit work. So that's exactly what I am going to do today.
