Future.
As much as I want to forget about it or just think about it when it comes, I can’t. I’m worried, actually, on how I can get that ‘edge’ my professor always tells us. He says that everyone is becoming very competitive towards everything recently, probably and especially with professionals. Well, I’m in my second year in college now and I can’t help but to think...

pica
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. [abbr. picayune] the smallest measurable unit of human connection, typically exchanged between passing strangers—a flirtatious glance, a sympathetic nod, a shared laugh about some odd coincidence—moments that are fleeting and random but still contain powerful emotional nutrients that can alleviate the symptoms of feeling alone.

Finally!
I pat myself on the shoulder as a sign that I did a good job on getting ‘over’ about everything that has to do with him. In that party, where everyone is having a very nice time, is when I finally accepted that I was done. I’ve deluged myself for almost two years now about things that might actually mean nothing at all. It was only yesterday, when my friend asked me about him...

Spoiler alert!
I’m almost done reading this book but I can’t let myself finish it without telling somebody of what I just read. I must warn you. This may be a spoiler. I am writing this post because I have nobody to tell my reaction with at the moment because 1) my roommate’s still having her class and 2) I can’t wait anymore.
Actually, I just can’t get over the fact that that...

I think I know where this is going.
That eye contact again. I’ve never really wanted to see or talk to you again since that ‘awkward’ conversation but you keep showing up and I keep getting caught off guard and I don’t know how to act around you because I don’t know what you think of me ever since. Eff. Here I go again, making the same mistake that got us into this confusing situation.

I’m totally okay with it but I won’t deny the fact that there’s still a little part of me that feels strange whenever I knew there’s ‘someone new’ in your life. As if I can do anything about it, right? That’s the sucky part— I can’t do anything about it. All I’m saying is, I just wanted you to tell me things like these like you used to....
