Missing family who lives overseas
Distance can sometimes be a bittersweet reminder of the deep bonds that tie us to our loved ones.
Melancholy mix
It鈥檚 okay to feel sad. I blame the weather. This past week has really brought on the winter feels. Usually I鈥檓 excited about winter 鈥 there鈥檚 the annual Southern Right Whale migration, fire pit evenings, and the chance to retreat into our homes and bit and slow things down. However, this year it feels different. There鈥檚 a hurried and nervous vibration in the air and it鈥檚 all because I am nearing the end of my candidature. So very near indeed, but it feels so far away still 鈥 there is so much to do.
The cure to bad days聽
We鈥檙e all sad sometimes, that鈥檚 simply part of being human. Maybe it was a rejection, maybe you miss home, maybe it鈥檚 the fancy restaurant you splurged on that turned out to be mediocre 鈥 whatever the reason for your melancholy may be, know that to feel sad is normal and that sometimes, there鈥檚 nothing more comforting than to wallow in it for a day or two.聽
On missing out
I was really looking forward to this night out with friends and so of course, of all weekends to catch a cold and be sick, it had to be this weekend. I felt devastated and I honestly felt like the universe was cruel for letting this happen to me on this weekend. I felt so mad 鈥 after working relentlessly for months, in near solitary confinement conditions, it had to be this weekend that I鈥檓 sick. I felt bad, I felt angry, I felt entitled.
On dating
I enjoyed the chat Steph and John had about dating. It was insightful - a glimpse into a world I decided to leave, many years ago. I thought about how different it all seemed to be now, but also how familiar sounding. What sounds to not have changed much at all is the desire to find that seemingly elusive meaningful connection.聽
Why we care so much about likes
