Almost Done!!!

-

I can’t believe school will be finished soon—I’m so, so happy I’ll finally be free. Freedom! Freedom! I’m planning to binge-watch TV, binge-read books, go to the sauna, and swim. I seriously can’t wait to read in the sauna!!!

By the way, I had such a relaxing weekend last week. I watched You with German subtitles, and it was really nice. I’ve also been wanting to finish Ginny & Georgia—I love Paul and Georgia together. Their relationship is so cute, and I just love Paul. I really want to finish it, but I’ve been telling myself that delayed gratification is best. If I start studying seriously for finals now, I’ll have way less stress later.

Heartbreak, Again

-
Today has been an exceptionally difficult day. It felt like I was experiencing heartbreak all over again. I’m fairly certain that the man who shall not be named has moved on; I think he’s seeing someone new. She’s stunning and seems to share quite a bit in common with him. I spent some time crying in public bathrooms today because I couldn’t hold it in. The emotional weight was intense — I felt profoundly depressed. Swimming offered a small reprieve, a brief respite from the heaviness. I won’t lie, there were moments when I truly wanted to disappear. However, a post on Reddit gave me some perspective (I’ve attached it below). It’s painful to realize that all the time we shared, all the experiences, conversations, activities — none of it seemed to matter to him. He doesn’t desire a future like that. He doesn’t prioritize our shared moments: going to the pool, discussing nutrition, playing ping pong, or even simple acts of affection. He once said I treated him sweetly, but perhaps his pr...

Survival of the fittest

-
You know, ever since I was 10, I’ve hated the way I looked—except for one brief year, from 22 to 23. That was when I started going to church and thought, for once, that the guys I liked actually liked me back. But that feeling was short-lived. I was wrong—they all chose other girls over me. Returning to the body dysmorphia, the crying, the self-hate—it felt like coming home. Like slipping back into my natural state. Strangely, there was comfort in it. That year—when I thought I was finally seen—was confusing. I kept asking, If they find me attractive, then why don’t they choose me? The answer? I was wrong. They didn’t find me that attractive.  Anyway, I don’t know if I want to keep going to church anymore. With body dysmorphia, you hate yourself so much that the idea of friends or family seeing you becomes unbearable. At least that’s how it’s been for me. But here’s the part I weirdly love: going back to wearing no makeup, being okay with being “ugly,” not trying to impress anyone...

I really don’t like fiction

-
We only have a limited amount of time on earth, and there’s so much real history, science, and human experience to unpack. So why are we spending it on stories that aren’t even true? Isn’t that, in a way, a big lie? A kind of deception? Fiction can cloud our sense of reality. It shapes the way we see the world, but often in ways that aren’t grounded in truth. I get that fiction can be meaningful or even realistic sometimes — but how often does that really happen? It's rare, and honestly, really hard to pull off well.
