There are some things about myself I can't explain to anyone. There are some things I don't understand at all. I can’t tell what I think about things or what I'm after. I don't know what my strengths are or what I'm supposed to do about them. But if I start thinking about these things in too much detail the whole thing gets scary. And if I get scared I can only think about myself. I become really self- centered, and without meaning to, I hurt people. So I'm not such a wonderful human being.
Haruki Murakami, The Elephant Vanishes

While I was sorting through my email last weekend, I found where one of my college professors sent me this, and it's so wholesome. Supportive educators are everything.

march 27 2023
been on spring break! admittedly i struggle with just allowing myself to rest. it’s like yeah i can relax and recharge but also im not going on a vacation or trip like some friends which kinda sucks…and then on the other hand im like well there’s so much time to get ahead / be productive about my research projects! But I can’t find the energy to do that either LOL
I definitely spend a lot of time thinking about things I could do rather than just doing them,,,

It’s been such a long week, y’all. There’s so much to do everyday, and there’s barely a chance to slow down and collect my thoughts! The picture on the right is from my physics lab. That thing is just as complicated as it looks, lol. At first, my equipment was faulty so I kept getting weird results and it was so confusing. But now, I’m headed on the right track!

don’t forget to be gentle with yourself🩵
it’s a hard day for studying after the session I pulled yesterday but I can make it work, sometimes it’s hard to get myself together and work even if I want to because I physically don’t feel like it, but starting my work is also my hardest part so I do one question or slide and then once I’m in the zone I’m fully in

I write in my books because who else is going to? And who else will actually care?
