"The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed."
Be better.

im so happy that i have finally found two special people that have changed my entire college life. every single moment that the three of us come together are definitely those i’ll remember about uiuc forever, not those grades or the classes.
that second when we were at the froyo store singing to “how to save a life” as though no one else in the place mattered, just brought me true joy. and when we sped down the highway in the m5, with the sunroof open, watching the lights go past and hearing the car sound like those in the f1 race, that was my infinite moment.
Look around
There’s no one but you and me
Right here and now
The way it was meant to be
There’s a smile on my face
Knowing that together everything that’s in our way
We’re better than alright
Walking between the raindrops
Riding the aftershock beside you
Off into the sunset
Living like there’s nothing left to lose
Chasing after gold mines
Crossing the fine lines we knew
Hold on and take a breath
I’ll be here every step
Walking between the raindrops with you
Take me now
The world’s such a crazy place
When the walls come down
You’ll know I’m here to stay
There’s nothing I would change
Knowing that together everything that’s in our way
We’re better than alright

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

Today is life, the only life you are sure of, make the most of it.
this quote has been resonating in my mind for the past few weeks. and i love how truly it states that today is the only life i am sure of; yesterday is history, and who knows if there even is a tomorrow, depressing as that sounds. so here’s to good books, midnight suppers, and quiet walks in the snowfall
today’s my first snow day in two years! it was exciting to get the news that classes were cancelled, but at the same time the amount of snow outside is insane, i rather have classes and nice weather.
3 snow storms in a month is a bit of a downer.

that was some week. I think it can possibly be the worst and best week of my college life.
on wednesday morning, the first thing that came into my head like a distant voice was “i’m so tired of being tired”. and that was literally my week. But somehow amidst the non-stop work and tasks, i was enjoying the momentum. Exhaustion became a state of mind, because there was no time to be tired, things had to be done, and events had to be planned.
spring break is here and it has come in good time. I can finally surface the water, take a deep long breath, and prepare for another dive.
