It has been a long 2 months since I last logged on. My first quarter of graduate school has been tremendously difficult, but I am surviving. I am alive. And there's not much more to ask for. 

I am learning how to be content with myself. I am finally beginning to understand how to embrace the lull of my own thoughts, and to be independent (emotionally and physically). I'm much better at keeping things to myself, for myself. I know it's a cliche. But it's nice.
