“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” ―John Muir

I’ve finished with my summer job and have a week or so left before classes start up. Between getting a start on readings and getting some applications in, I’ve had a wee adventure before I buckle down for my third and final year.

Dude for real though your worth as a human being is not dependent on how productive or “useful” you are. You could do nothing but lay in bed all today and you’d still be worthy of respect and care. Bro you are a living breathing human being and your life has inherent value. Like straight up you don’t have to do something impossible or world changing with your time on earth in order for you to matter. We are all specks of dust in the cosmos and the fact that you exist at all means you are important. Dude you don’t have to earn the right to live bro, like I swear bro, like no cap.

i havent laid down on the grass in a while. maybe that is what’s wrong with me

take your time, it’s ok

any amount of love given will never be love wasted any amount of love given will never be love wasted any amount of love given will never be love wasted

instead of asking myself whether the outcome of a decision is good or bad for my future, i have resorted to choosing the option that is most likely to result in shenanigans. while this inevitably leads to a lot of situations and such, it replaces the feeling of enduring the consequences of your actions with a commitment to the bit, which is a much funnier emotion to have. also, it's hilarious

like 98% of my problems would be solved if I stopped overthinking things and calmed the fuck down

“You are so young, so much before all beginning, and I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them.

Trying to take a law break over the long weekend since I tend to obsess anywhere from a bit to a lot. The last week was spent having a crisis about my career path, and hopefully I’ve got enough figured out to keep on the right path for now.

And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.” —Rainer Maria Rilke

in this baeutiful world. straight up "enjoing it". and by "it". haha. well. let's justr say. My frands

sorry yeah ive got a bad case of Thinking About My Friends. im afraid its incurable. symptoms include happiness and love and wishes that they will have the life they want to live.

staying close w people long distance really is about the mundane stuff. i get texts like "made quesadillas" "spilled mop water all over the floor :(" "lady on the bus has not one not two but three tiny dogs in her purse" andits like wow. i love you more than words can express

Sometimes you gotta stop worrying about being the smartest and funniest person in the room and just enjoy being in a room with smart and funny people

the show (going out to get groceries. making myself a nice dinner. showering and opening the windows. being kind to myself in everything i do) Must go on

“This, I think, / Is wealth. / Just this choosing / Of how / A beautiful day / Is spent.” —Alice Walker

I made pesto! Also got some housekeeping done, along with a bit of reading (next up Canada (AG) v Power!).

A lot has happened in the past few months, one being that I decided to give posting a break for a while. I’ll be back in full swing when classes start up for what is somehow my last year of law school.

Summary of how things have been going:

- Grades came back, and they’re the best I’ve gotten yet (including the exam following which I cried in the college bathroom)

- Spending the summer working at the same firm as last year, sneaking off to court as often as I can, and becoming increasingly attached to criminal defence

- Class registration, influenced by said attachment to criminal defence!
