I’d like to say this week has been productive, but it has been chaos
to myself,
i am trying to love you more
03.02.22// working on the hamsun paper & polishing my presentation for tomorrow :))!
listening to: taeyeon, can’t control myself
another shot of my desk at sunset + the view
i miss the shadows and light so much 😩 i still can’t believe i got the chance to live in this apartment last year, it worked itself out so well it felt fated
09.02.22// had a really productive week so far - wrote a huge chunk of one of my term papers, and researched some more for my phd expose!
listening to: tokio hotel bad love
cd | What do you do to reset your week? ⬇️
Since I switched to paper planning I basically transfer the weekly sched I made for the class to my planner (I print it since there’s ALOT) and then add personal things I want to do that week.
Other than planning, I clean the apartment to prep for the week bec who knows what storm might come and when I’ll be able to clean again 😭 I also re-stock my fridge (one of my fave things!). Simple chores ground me, keeps me sane and make me feel like my life has some semblance to normalcy. I also spend time with my dog and journal when I could for some weekly reflection.
Of course, these are the things that take little time — things that took years to hone with time management. Most of my “reset” day as a med student are still spent prepping for Monday’s exam, which is pathology. 🥲
We do what we can, right? 😂

there will never be anything that compares to finding new pieces of yourself you didn’t even know you would discover. i think that’s a big part of life i’ve overlooked. not only will i grow up more and more but i will also meet more of myself. that’s terrifying but exciting and something to look forward to. maybe at 25 i’ll realize i love a certain food or at 30 i’ll want to learn to play piano or at 50 i’ll take an interest in scuba diving. i don’t know yet all of who i am but i really want to know more.

I lost my best friend 3 years ago- not lost as in dead but lost as in we only text each other on our birthdays now. Movies and books don't tell you that a friendship dying is like the sinking of a ship, you try to get higher and higher and hold onto the rails and unanswered texts, the captain tries to steer it to safety and salvage pieces of two broken hearts until you're left with memories of what once was. We were friends for a decade and knew each other's diaries by heart, I still remember her phone number and the way she took her coffee. Seeing her in streets is like breathing in a scent you forgot you knew but it immediately takes you back to a summer in '07.
Movies and books also don't tell you that friendships don't just end after one fight or incident, it's like the rusting of a bridge, the slow decay of flesh and bones and secrets. It took weeks, months- until one day I woke up and I realized I hadn't thought of her in a while. And I wrote a poem that day and I titled it 'The dying of a best friend' and I put all my love for her in a tiny box with my half of the matching pendant of a dolphin we had and stored them in a corner of my heart under the heading Grief. Where else can one hide unspent love?
It's been 3 years since I lost my best friend, lost as in I still carry our secrets in a tiny box but we only text each other on our birthdays.

what people think it means to be a scientist: “i have all the answers!”
what it actually means to be a scientist: “this is maybe the answer but i can’t say anything for sure because we don’t really know all that much, and even though statistics might be useful in determining our confidence in the significance of results, they often don’t capture the nuance of the actual data, which in turn doesn’t capture the nuance of real life, because the double-edged sword of controlled experiments is that these parameters don’t actually exist anywhere in nature, and they’re only implemented to manage the complexities of the world and to fit them into a model that we can actually test!! and all results are generalizations, when in fact, each case is unique and often unmeasurable. and most things we measure can’t be measured, so we have to fall back on proxies, which might not tell the whole story!! i don’t know anything!!! i mean, i can say this one specific thing with statistical confidence, but not with any real confidence??? i’m sorry???? also where’s the free coffee at this conference????”

It’s okay if you can’t drive at the age you’re expected to by society. It’s not that simple for many of us, whether it be financial constraints, anxiety, or ability. Just because it’s normalized doesn’t mean it’s right.
