Dear Blank,

Salt. Savagery. Sometimes we need to.

1. Dear Blank,
You're not the Queen of England. Please call the gate and let them know you are expecting a visitor. No need to hold up the United States because you're too busy to call in ahead of time.

2. Dear Blank,
You have taught me to throw money at my problems until they disappear. It's been working, but now I'm broke and need to pay tuition :')

3. Dear Blank,
I am not good at hiding emotions, but luckily you are not good at reading emotions.

4. Dear Blank,
Yes, I'm a hypocrite. If it bothers you, close this tab immediately.

5. Dear Blank,
what are we

6. Dear Blank,
I'm sorry I get pissed off so easily. I just want my space. And my freedom. And my summer.

7. Dear Blank,
Why can't we be (just) friends?

8. Dear Blank,
I apologize for judging you too quickly.

9. Dear Blank,
Please forgive me-- I don't hate you, I just dislike talking to you. Or being near you for that matter.

10. Dear Blank,
I'm not your prop.

11. Dear Blanks,
I feel undervalued and unsupported sometimes. I feel selfish for feeling this way too. "Pity me" is probably all anyone gets from statements like these. I just wish there was some way I could feel warmer or more appreciated sometimes without asking for it. So yeah, pity me.

12. Dear Blank,
This is just a regular sized entry so that number eleven doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. 

13. Dear Blank,
I'm really glad we're friends.

14. Dear Blank,
Why do all the rocks in my life speak words to me that I wish I could just take with a grain of salt?

15. Dear Blank,
I guess I should take a spoon of my own medicine. I'll remind myself that I'll probably not get appreciation. Silly I want that. But isn't it freaking human?

16. Dear Blank,
I've never wanted to quit everything and drift away to an unknown place as much as today.

17. Dear Blank,
I suck. And I know it. But why? That I don't know. 

18. Dear Blank,
There's not many people I like being vulnerable to. Putting up a wall is hard 24/7. Let me be weak sometimes. And not feel reprimanded for it.

12. Selective Spirituality is OK.

I was never too connected to my roots. At most, I’d slip in an out of cultural appreciation when cultural festivals were around the corner, or I’d occasionally look out into the nature and wonder how the world around us came to be. But sometimes I’d feel guilty for feeling entitled to these thoughts of awe and amazement at the universe- I thought I was the least spiritual p erson on the planet. I used to roll my eyes when people I knew talked about spiritual matters. I tuned it out. I thought being spiritual was lame or unrealistic. The world was just a result of chemical reactions to me. But sometimes , I realized it was a result of beautiful and awe-inspiring chemical reactions. I was under some angsty impression of myself that getting spiritual once in a while just didn’t fit my vibe. But more recently, I’ve realized it’s a blessing to see some of the things we see. I’ve gotten more in touch with my emotional side, and a lot more things move me than they did befo...

11. It's Okay To Eat Eggs For Dinner Every Day.

^ Best Cook   But eating pasta with friends is better. Studying abroad is more than just packing a suitcase and learning how to fend for yourself on trains. You also have to know how to do your own laundry, record your expenses, and … make food.  I was pretty confident in my pasta making abilities, but I didn’t think I was so lazy that I’d miss having a large frozen vegetables section at a grocery store. The lack of preservatives in my food and the long weekend trips I took deterred me from buying groceries in bulk like I was so used to in the United States. In fact, the last time I had bought a full load of groceries was back in 12th grade when my parents attempted to instill the smallest bit of adulthood into me. I spent the first year of college eating dining hall food, and “getting groceries” meant ensuring I had a decent stock of Belvita breakfast biscuits and Oreos. In Metz, I now was tasked with making use of a mini fridge, microwave, and two h...

13. If Your Friends Jumped Off A Cliff, You Should Too

Cinque Terre, literally translating to Five Lands , is a cute array of Italian coastal towns. Some of these towns are notorious for being a good location to go cliff jumping. This summer really was one for the books- I expanded my comfort zone a lot. But, I didn’t jump off a cliff in Italy. If you look closely, you can see people sun-bathing on sharp rocks and those getting ready to throw themselves off them (all for fun of course).  The opportunity was perfect. It was good weather and tons of grade school kids were doing it too. Yet, I already hated water (I don’t as much anymore). The cliffs had rugged edges. Everyone was watching as people one by one plunged down into a murky abyss. No supervision. But some confidantes were jumping off the cliff over and over again. I felt self conscious. I didn’t want to freak out mid fall and create a scene of havoc. I didn’t want to land incorrectly or slip as I tried to climb up the cliff. But why ? This corner of cliffs was filled wi...
