...to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;" -T.S. Eliot I love this poem (The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock) and I particularly love this part. It feels like a little reassurance in my sometimes-tumultuous life. Getting used to living without the structure of classes, figuring out how to learn without instruction and create without deadlines. "Let us go then, you and I, when the evening is stretched out against the sky..."

Twenties' Angst?
I am feeling really angsty right now - I'm just sick of things going wrong with the Bullsheet. I'm trying to handle it with the grace and poise I know I could if I was someone else, but I'd really like to just scream and kick and wonder who is out to get me!? Knowing no one is, and it really is just my stupid mistake for never fact-checking and relying on the good of people. One more reason that human beings are not to be trusted. Although tomorrow or maybe in the next couple hours, I will change that point of view and go back to who I am always, the person who thinks everyone is inherently good until proven otherwise, that naive child inside me who never relents her voice of joy and positivity. Sometimes I hate that child deep down inside me. It's a good jimminy cricket though, I guess, it could be worse.
