When I nap in the afternoon.
β"Daytime sleep is like the sin of the flesh; the more you have the more you want, and yet you feel unhappy, sated and unsated at the same time.β Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

Totally lost with how life is. Haven't updated my tumblr for some time. So, what I have done lately:
Ethical research application for groupwork, prepping for semi-qualitative interview, doing my term paper (aka my supervisor asked me to do it and mayhaps, publish it), and attending seminars.
been awhile, I posted something here and this is not study-related.

You need a rest. You need empty moments in which you tolerate your anxiety and circling thoughts until they slow down and stop circling. You need slow, quiet activities that ground you and remind you to accept yourself in spite of huge obstacles and bad thoughts. You need to put solutions out of your mind for now, and engage in activities that have nothing to do with your ego. You need habits that strengthen your patience and focus, but also feel real and not arbitrary. You need to abandon your glorious future and build your imperfect present instead.
