while i decide how to organize all the photos i took yesterday, let me share with you my number three favorite thing so far about being back in london: walking through the estate on the way to the tube and, at any time of day, smelling curry.

The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring...

In the depths of the crisis I thought I could make myself feel better if I wrote love letters to the universe and thereby reminded myself of all the wonderful coincidences that led to my life bring what it is.
I checked the registry and that tumblr already existed and, being in the throes of a crisis partially predicated on the ‘there’s nothing new in the universe - so what’s...

i don’t know if this means anything, or if this is at all a unique, but i just realized i have a much easier time remembering to be somewhere than remembering that i have to do something. the most interesting example of this is that last semester i had a meeting set up with a TA but i never internalized that i had to BE where the meeting was, and internalizing that i had to GO to a meeting...

Sometimes I want to talk about how much I love Sam Anders. But when I open my mouth, only this weird gurgling sound comes out. And I can’t type because my arms are busy flailing all over the place.

I like how the trains go faster between stops late at night than they do during the day. I hate how my fingers go faster than the phone than my brain, then I have to interrupt and go back and remedy the errors. AUTOCORRECT AMIRITE?! I like how night makes us freer but I hate Stephanie Meyer.
