"You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place. Like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way ever again."
- Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran
The best decision Iāve made this year was to start a video journal of my senior year and capture every momentāno matter how insignificantāto keep the year frozen in time. No matter how much time goes by; no matter how many characters I change to become, Iāll always have these videos to remind me of my essenceāwhere I come from, and what made me. It doesnāt matter that the cusp of them are 0.5x videos of my friendsā foreheads, clips of me crying in public restrooms, and logs of us stealing grocery store carts to race them down the streetāthese moments are what I stay alive for.

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

āhow can a person know everything at eighteen, but nothing at twenty-twoā
life truly humbles you. as you start growing older, you stop only chasing the big things, and start valuing the little things too. being able to weave stories of experiences and begin applying themāintegrating the lessons and learning curves.
in the past few hours of being eighteen, ive learnt how limited our time on earth truly is. i was advised (perhaps even lectured) that i shouldnāt try to defy natureās course with futile attempts to āage gracefullyā, but to rather age with mischief, audacity and a good story to tell. beyond grateful for the love that surrounds me, and the love that i am bound to give out.

šŖ¬An ideal world is one that knows no pain. That, sadly, is not the one we live in. Pain is a part of the human experienceābut failure to move on from it makes you miserable. If you dwell too much on what has happened, you will never be fulfilled enough to see all the good you have/ that is to come. Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of a situation.
āAnd in fact, itās time to forsake someone elseās idea of what gives you a spark or no spark. Block the āotherā from the picture. No more audience. Just you.ā
Whether you choose to take that responsibility (of acceptance), or give it up to the disappointments of life, you return to yourself. The choice is whether to wallow in the misery of that pain, or take it as it comes and look at what it has to offer you.

āif it was easy, everyone would do itā.
movement is a gift - so unwrap it and use it. a healthy, functional body is a privilege, not a guarantee. don't waste it. move with intention, move with purpose. the hardest paths often lead to the most rewarding views.
