just had the most productive run ever.
in a way i never would have guessed.
i think this is what closure feels like.
the sound of raindrops on my window.
The Cycle of Hope (note: the better option)
Taking personal responsibility for being a good person
Creating a vision of a better world based on your values
Seeking out quality information about the world’s problems
Discovering practical options for action
Acting in line with your values
Repeat until better world results.
The Cycle of Cynicism (note: try to avoid)
Finding out about a problem
Wanting to do something to help
Not seeing how you can help
Not doing anything about it
Feeling sad, powerless, angry
Deciding that nothing can be done
Begin shutting down
Wanting to know less about problems
Repeat until apathy results.
if you dont make the right decision, make the wrong decision right.

life problems
ate all the dried fruit and other goods things out of my costco ‘fruit and nut medley.’ now it’s just ‘raisins and some peanuts medley.’
field hockey
had my first two games today for the club fockey team! we tied upenn 3-3 (played against caitlin!) and beat villanova 3-1. honestly, field hockey has been critical to my happiness this past week or so. i’m terribly rusty and still getting used to playing again but the girls are all really nice and accepting and make me feel welcome there. and hopefully i’ll just keep getting better...
