Exams are coming and I have been drinking so much tea.

I have a concentrated cup of green tea in the morning , sip and continually refill a cup of mint tea throughout to keep me fresh, and then have chamomile tea at the end of the day.

Green tea to wake me up for work, mint tea to sustain the work, chamomile to wind down from the work.

No. I choose to hope.

My mind suggests talking about this. But my heart says that this is something I have to shoulder alone for now.

Whether or not I tell anyone can't change anything.

Please no. Just please be nothing.

Pictures of people shouldn’t last longer than people. People should just keep lasting. 

Someday they will.

Some relationships are like highways in the wintertime; messy. Like when there’s tall, dead yellowish brown grass sticking out on snow on the side of a highway and the slush in the edge is all salty and dirty.

Does everybody do this thing where you flatten the slush at this stage so that it’s smooth, or are me and all the people at this particular bus stop crazy?

One on the left is doing it.

She made a design.

Then the one on the right with the camel-coloured bots started too.

I think if you do this it means you’re creative.

The whole bus stop is creative.

Reflecting on this Quora question changed the way I look at life

"Is your motivation rooted in negativity (guilt, anger) or positivity (appreciation, desire)?"

Thank you user Evelyn Krasnik for posing this question.

I know you meant to twist things to make me feel bad, but it has just made me hope that more people like you become more like people like me.

Please don't stand by, stand together.

What do you wish everyone knew about bullying?

Sometimes the effects of what you say and do to people never go away. Unfortunately, no matter how hard we try on our own many of us have years or even decades of being bullied that many of us can’t simply forget.

But secondly and even more importantly, that even if it takes help, the effects always can get better and become livable. You can feel good again.

Thirdly, an apology can help more than you might imagine, alongside a resolve to do better.

And fourth: please don’t stand by, stand together.

I wish to understand others the way I wish to be understood.

Things I’ve learned from my music teachers about playing and teaching music

Mrs Miller - Be patient

Mr Moss - be creative

Mr Kite - have fun

Mr Moon - tone over tempo

Stephanie Pesant - feel for your students

Mr Petersen - Practice the music you love

Mr LeGendre - There is something to love in every person’s style and performance

~~

Something experience has taught me - give your audience a beautiful experience. This gets me out of my head, and lets me focus on giving my heart to them through the music, trough shaped sound.

“I want to stop talking in bright green and want to be able to use my more natural, earthy voice and its free flow.”

Sometimes silence is scary.

I don't like sitting in mental silence. No epiphanies. Just there, feeling so disconnected from everything outside when inside nothing is right. I look inside and see a very distorted space. A lot of emptiness. And when I can manage to conjure up a thought or an image it doesn't make sense, it looks like an abstract painting of a person where the eyes and the other parts of the face or body are in all the wrong places.

Disconnected. I'm in the air again, and the lack of gravity is making me light-headed.

And there is no weather balloon in sight.

Sometimes I turn the TV on just to hear other peoples' voices.

“I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud.” - Carl Jung

In the new world, I'd want to be able to meet Carl Jung. Every time I read something he wrote I feel like I have something to learn from it.

I think there is a subtype if depressed person that is a “depressed optimist.”

Though I woukdn’t  describe it as being a subset of optimist; then we’d also have create things  we should also then have subsets like “anemic optimist”, “feverish optimist”, and “optimist with eczema”, and “underweight optimist.”
