My Generation
That made the love,the youth, the health, and the City even more romantic in this era of decidedly unromantic things. We were living in the past: the antiquated times of actual, honest-to-God phone calls, the sunny days on swing-sets with families dressed in plaid pants and matching twinsets, the time when people our age could look to the future with hope and certainty and all of that nonsensical...

this happen to me too.. but idk.. i’m sure that you are wonderful.. like Piet.
Thanks for the kind words, but I am nowhere near the level of Piet. He was, to use a cliche, a true visionary. I think everyone goes through a period in their life where they feel useless/mediocre…I just...

Sometimes I just get really depressed because I feel like I’m not amazingly good at anything.
Like, I’m not sure what my talent is - some kids are really good at photography or soccer or politics or singing. But me, I don’t know. I’m marginally clever. Marginally good at art. I’m not outstanding at anything.
I want to be a specialist, not a generalist.
I sound...

Just got into University of Michigan’s LSA. :D
I left my brother (who is a senior at UMich) an awkward voicemail telling him I got in.
“Hey oppa….I just got into UMich…yeah, I just thought I’d tell you. Um, ok….(long pause)…bye.”
I mean, I am supersupersuper excited. But somehow, my fear of him cancels out any excitement/joy I feel.
His powers of...

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. the exhilarating dread of finally pursuing a lifelong dream, which requires you to put your true abilities out there to be tested on the open savannah, no longer protected inside the terrarium of hopes and delusions that you created in kindergarten and kept sealed as long as you could, only to break in case of emergency.
“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect...”

I got rejected from Columbia.
But you know, after getting past the initial sting, I feel like this was a good experience for me.
I’ve never been rejected/failed like this before, so I guess there’s a first time for everything.
My friend and I were talking on the phone after I told her I got rejected, and it made me realize just how wonderful my life is - dream school acceptance or...
