my day
this morning when i woke up at 6:31, i thought to myself, “maybe today is the day i will quit.” i decided on an extra 20 minutes of sleep instead of getting up in time to get my coffee, which means i didn’t actually get out of bed until 6:51, when i have to be at school by 7:30, so i got dressed and ready in approximately 5 mins, drank 2 diet pepsis on the drive, and did my make...

a tweet of mine from 20 october 2010:
Dasein reveals something about itself to itself and pre-ontologically registers this revelation (an interpretation of itself) as Care.

a freefall with no one to catch me.
And I guess culture did catch me. culture is comfort and small comforts are the locks on the blinds that kept me from the ugly part of myself for so long.

an excerpt from my previous life
I can’t really make any pronouncements about my place in Wallerstein’s framework of the social, political, cultural, or historical. There are some things I hold to be “true,” in the loosest sense of the word, like, I don’t know. I subscribe to Jung’s concept of the collective unconscious. I believe that people should be good to each other. I believe, though not in my own ability “to love,” in...

on that adele song
why the FUCK would i ever want to find someone LIKE any of the people i’ve dated before? do people have different dating experiences than me, that when they break up with someone they want to find someone LIKE that person? everyone i’ve ever dated has sent me in search of something completely opposite them.

Me being a fuckin' SAGE ass motherfucker
me: it's hard to explain, but when i look at people, anyone really
me: just thinking about them as little orbits of individualized sadness, and like
me: that makes it easier for me to reconcile my own sadness. it's weird, like
me: if you think of all the heartache and disappointment and loss and wasted potential that characterizes the entirety of the human condition
me: one heartbreak is not really so bad.
Mallory: being human is just being really sad
me: yes, i agree, it really is, but
me: sometimes it's happy for brief moments
me: remember that, as good things end bad things end too
me: as joy leaves pain leaves just as fast sometimes faster

i think it’s super bourgie and obnoxious that suburban hospital is a “smoke free campus” and that they are SO GODDAMN PROUD of themselves for it. wow, so, you’re smoke free to the point that visitors and people who work for you, including doctors, can’t even smoke in their own cars in the parking lot. i’m sorry, but it’s not upon you to outlaw smoking...
