I learned that sometimes,
people aren’t going to love you,
and it may be for no reason at all.
Sometimes, people just judge you on what they think you will do,
on who they think you are,
and there’s nothing you can do about it.
But just remember one thing:
they’re not cheating you,
they’re cheating themselves.

Yale.
If I remember one college I’ve wanted to go to since I found out I can do better than community college, is Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child or a garden [...]

So I woke up today, at a ridiculously late hour in accordance with collegiate tradition, and pulled the covers over my face. I did a shimmy/roll on my own rotation axis, to change position. Then I remembered that my bed wasn’t two feet wide anymore, but rather the queen-sized bed I have in my room at home. [...]

A week ago, I walked into the dining hall closest to my dorm for a late lunch. I went from station to station, seeing the usual pizza, pasta, soup, meat-of-some-sort selection. However, I grabbed my plate and started to pile on food. After I was done, I left it on the table I was sitting [...]

So what if I have [...]

“I often see that when it seems like everything is wrong with the world, look inward and try to see if you are not the one failing to respond to the miracle happening around you.”
One soul’s search to say what no one says, find what is lost, and find the courage to know.
