As I reward myself with a 5 minute break from homework, I think I failed in that I allowed myself too much time (a whole 5 minutes) to start to feel nostalgic. It’s one of those nostalgics that are very bittersweet. Memories of when things were easier. Simpler. Not due to an absence of people, but due to unnecessary complications. Necessary to learn from but unnecessary for bruising. Funny thing is that things are just about to get even more complicated in my life as I enter a new season. I guess I just wish I can be better and that being emotional wasn’t reprimanded. Self reminder: life’s 10% actions and 90% reaction.
