"A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity." - Baltasar Gracian
It takes only one day for your entire life to change. Whether you made a bad decision or a good decision, the decision has been made and now life will never been like it was before. I've learned that I have to accept that life changes and that I can't hold on to anything too tight because its time will pass too. Things had changed for a bit, but now life is getting back to normacy. I guess not chosing change is also a change in many ways.
I'm writing to note that I am in the thick of finals, hence the lack of entries and future lack of entries. Wish me luck my friends. These are very important. So this is going to be my last entry for quite a while. I still think you should visit to see pictures and write on the message board, but with finals and Spain and all the other things I have coming up, I don't think I'll be able to write on such a regular basis. Also, considering all the changes in my life, I'd rather wait until I feel I'm on more secure footing to truly be able to reflect.
But before I stop writing, I might as well get these thoughts out now. My first bit of news, is that I am now done with my writing class. I just turned in my last assignment and it feels good to have that class out of the way. 4 finals and then I'm done for the semester. I'm really scared about these tests, but all I can do is study for them and try to get as prepared as possible.
A few weeks ago, I heard that a classmate of mine had their 6 year relationship end. I felt horrible for him, and in the following days to come, I could just see the heartbreak on his face. Even when he was smiling and talking, it was all over him. I was impressed on how well he was able to keep going and focus on school. He looks a lot better now and everyone deals with things in their own way, but it reminded me of the feeling of being around a disabled person. You fear that you might one day be like that, and seeing them brings that fear out in you irrationally. I hope to never have to go through that, but I do know it is inevitable if I'm in a relationship, because even if we marry, life is only so long. And that is best case senerio. I still think the benefits out weigh the costs.
I found this online:
The proposal would allow licensed hunters to kill free-roaming cats, including any domestic cat that isn't under the owner's direct control or any cat without a collar, just like skunks or gophers -- something the Humane Society of the United States has described as cruel and archaic.
I'm glad Koki and Mia live inside where they are protected from these licensed hunters.
I needed more, expected more
