A Closed Mind

Sometimes what is right in front of us is the best thing. Or the less arduous route might actually be better.

Looking at the Occidental Urban and Environmental Policy Institute's programs so that I can write my essay quickly, I am ashamed that I overlooked this school until now. The programs are spectacular and exactly what I am seeking.

Or tonight I hung out with a few friends who I haven't spent time with in many months. It was wonderful and freeing. It was nice to actually have people want me to be with them instead of all the effort I put forth to seek out the friends who don't ever seem like they want to be with me. It gets tiring calling and organizing ways to be with friends only to have them bail out on you. And in all my effort to build my friendships with these people I ignore the friends who are right there for me, happy to be with me no matter what.

And then there was the new Chinese restaurant I went to today. It was the most delicious Chinese food I've ever had and it was just this small overlooked place in Gilman Village. It's only been open for a week, but I hope it stays because it is spectacularly delicious.

My life has been so wild this week. I've cried so much. I've been through a lot of mental and spiritual pain. I have been struggling so much for so long. I still feel the misery, but it is diminishing.

My fortune cookie told me that my problems will be fixed faster than I think. I hope it is true.
