On my sudden epiphanies that 1. this blog has pretty much become entirely about ME, 2. not many people would find that premise for a blog all that interesting, 3. one of the reasons it's hard to have a social life is because I was previously in a program where nearly every aspect of sociality was dictated- nay, lovingly-guided (wink, to Mission Year), 4. these have been the hardest months of my life (Aug-Oct)... I have some loosely-related advice, taken from various folks, that I need to remember. And hey, why not take it yourself, you three readers out there.
Dear Self,
My God, just be HONEST, take care of yourself, and fight for the rights you have to get what you need.
Love,
Self

Hey Katie!
This might be too personal, but what are these 'rights I have to get what I need?'
Hope you are well.
Oh boy... I didn't even go onto my blog until just now. See what I mean about passive? Ha.
No, not too personal at all. Just kinda loaded: I had had kind of a breakdown because of mounting stress in school, work, life, and I was pretty much realizing I was trying to balance all of those but not taking advantage of instructors' availability for help, not communicating my lack of understanding to my boss about job stuff, trying to be a caretaker to people and situations who were capable of doing things themselves, etc. Basic stuff. So all of that blew up after months of carrying it all, I was trying to do more than I was/am capable of at this point, and that was one of the worst weeks ever. I'm trying to not save the world so much these days as I am just trying to not get burnt out.
Hope that makes sense. I appreciate your concern and actually reading this heap of crap, friend! Hope to see you soon.
