My eyes and heart are heavy for the person I love;  the one that is looking for me.  I have never known what love was until I met you, and it deeply saddens me.

People are so steadfast on the idea that any sort of advancement in your career is only a result of your network. Truthfully, I find it disappointing, and I want to break that cycle. I want to be someone that is able to bring value because of my competence. Advancement in hindered because we don't share power. Talent fades away because we much rather grow a familiar plant, than one that can be exceptional. I find the idea unpalatable, and in some ways corrupt. 

There's so much pressure to be exceptional, when all I want to be is me. I don't ever want to lose myself for any sort materialistic reason. 

It's been really hard for me to not think about you. It feels wrong to not have you in my life, when objectively I know this what's best for us right now. I'm not going to pretend that you were a saint though, and shower in guilt. I acted the way I did because there's shortcomings from both of us. Deep down, I still love you very much. I have compassion for you. I fully believe that you will find whatever it is you are looking for in the world; that you'll be happy. 

We delude ourselves with the idea that any company keeps loneliness away. You realize that's sad and pathetic. When you enter your relationships, will the surface tension stop you from drowning? Be gracious to yourself, and step back.

Everyone is so caught up on social media, that I no longer sense any form of genuine connection with people. It's like there's always a filter on authenticity. Not only that, it feels like individualism has died. In this generation, your worth is measured only by how well you are able to adhere to standards set out by idiots.

What I can't wrap my mind around.
