I'm sure I've posted this before, but I'm really missing you guys.
I've been thinking a lot about high school lately. Weird, I know, right?
I've been pretty unhappy lately, not like in a depressed sort of funk sort of way, but just in a "where did my life go" sort of way. I think I've gotten myself a little lost and I really wish I had you all around to make it better.
I'm really wishing right now that I could be home for Thanksgiving and could see all of you. I think we're going to be going to help at a church that is providing a vegan thanksgiving feast for the community/homeless. We have to call and see what kind of volunteers they need and food whatnot, but I think it will be a good experience.
I wanted to share some stuff for you all. First there's this blog I love. I want to be lovely like these women. One of them was an almost-friend from grad school. They post all sorts of things that make me smile or make me think. This particular post I thought was insightful and concise. It's basically about life priorities. Please if you have the time, read more than just this.
Also. (this relates to high school) Remember how back in Jackson's English classes we would pick out ridiculous vocabulary words from the dictionary and try to teach the class their meanings. Like ouananiche or defenestrate? Well check this out. Save the Words.
I adopted a word and you should too. My word is squiriferous. It means "having the character or qualities of a gentleman". e.g. I wish to marry someone who is squiriferous. Or My cat is not very squiriferous as she likes to lick herself in public.
Silly silly.
Anyway, if you ever have the time and want to call, I'd love that. Or if you see me online (which is practically never since we don't have internet at home) talk to me, please. I need you all.
Much love,
Court
Thanks for sharing the links! I loved them.
ReplyDeleteI heart you. A lot. And I miss you. A lot. Hopefully we'll be able to see each other soon. I'll try and give you a call sometime over the weekend!
A poem to cheer you up! Please adapt this to friendship and cut out the mushy love parts. I especially like the last stanza. I heart you, poopy face.
ReplyDelete"I Carry Your Heart" By: e.e. cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
It's the quarter life crisis. I know it well as I and many of my friends are going through the same thing. But I know you'll find your way through it.
