There is a question I have been wanting to understand the answer to, but have been feeling that I simply can’t ask. Eventually I just ask it anyway:
Do you think there was a part of you that imagined the two of you would somehow end up together?
Immediately, I wish that I hadn’t. The look on her face—a kind of juddering visceral alarm at what has been said…I don’t wish to see that...

there are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. there’s .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. some infinities are bigger than other infinities. a writer we used to like taught us that.
there are days, many of them, when i resent the size of my unbounded set. i want more...

Hal: Well, let's say that since you were little, you always dreamed of getting a lion. And you wait, and you wait, and you wait, and you wait but the lion doesn't come. And along comes a giraffe. You can be alone, or you can be with the giraffe.
Oliver: I'd wait for the lion.
Hal: That's why I worry about you.

these three weeks, the Christmas break, have been too good
you don’t know what you have till it leaves you. you get used to being alone and turning to silent walls for comfort. then you return and realized there is another state of being, and you see just how happy you can be. here… home. there are always people who will be around for me; day and night i do not ever feel alone. in...

i pray that god interferes SO MUCH (!) in your life that your ordinary becomes sacred. and i pray that you find god at the intersection of here & now.

I’ve written almost nine complete pages, single-spaced for my super-exciting-paper due on Tuesday. Nine pages single-spaced means 17 pages double-spaced, which means that I only need to write three more double-spaced pages before I’m free(!) - of this essay, at least.
(It feels rather melodramatic to create a tumblr post about a paper I’m writing, not the least...

today i decided that i want to go to morocco. i’m not really sure why, but i really really want to go. i added it to my newly-created list of places i want to go, looked up study abroad options for that area, realised there weren’t any really right for me and then thought about who i’d like to go with and who would agree to go with me. and there are...

There are now two flags - one rainbow LGBTQ, and one Palestinian - flying proudly out of my neighbor’s ginormous window facing the street. The Palestine flag is new as of tonight, and I couldn’t be happier to live in a house where people are excited enough to run out onto the sidewalk and squeal and jump up and down at the sight of it hanging out of the window.
Oh Tufts. Sometimes...

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when...
