Trip of a lifetime. San Fran, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing. Oh, and I got engaged.

I will no longer walk on this campus as a student. My undergraduate career is over. Currently not allowing myself to be nostalgic, those posts will come later.

Thought of you

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

This sign is popping up all over our neighborhood in Columbia Heights. “Courage” and “Hope” are usually the first to go.

Yesterday I ran into so many old friends. One after the other. Friends I grew up with in Arkansas, friends from freshman year that I discussed plays and poetry with, friends in my major, friends in my ward, friends of friends, and my closest friends. It was kind of bizarre seeing them all back to back. I realized that I have quite the eclectic taste when it comes to people. People are what make me happy and the fact that there is such a wide variety is what makes me even happier. So I can have friends that I can sit and listen to music with. Or friends to get in prank wars with. And friends to joke about media with. Friends that like the same tv shows as me. Friends that want to go on adventures with me. Friends to reminisce with me.

It’s the best.

On snowy days like today, when Utah decides that it will start feeling like winter in March, I am missing warm waters. And goofing off with my Dad.
