sometimes when i'm being too tough on myself, i try to remind myself that it's okay, because it's my first time living. i'll make mistakes and get embarrassed and learn the wrong lessons and cry a lot and be mediocre at many things. i'll say many hellos but also many goodbyes. this is a series of unrelated thoughts. a digital diary, mayhaps. things i write to make sense of living. things that i want to remember as i keep on living.
