However, I’ve grown to lean on my ability to sit down and do the work, and that’s the key — to make life feel a little easier, you have to build trust with yourself through habits, hobbies and moments that make you feel safe and loved.
Dear Doctors,
Some of my close friends are graduating, but I still have another year left of college. I’m really going to miss them. How do I cope?
Sincerely,
Perplexed
I’m an inquisitive person: I like to look into other people’s lives and gain a fresh perspective on how I perceive them based on their experiences. I found myself always judging what my family members posted on social media without having any context to their actions.
Most pieces of literature narrate the perfect story about meeting someone with whom you have a deep connection with. But in reality, the probability of that happening is often quite small, and most people aren’t so lucky. I want to tell a story about solitude. During my freshman year of college, I met my best friend ever, who happens to be myself.
We have been deluded into believing that romance lies solely along linear planes, a one-dimensional existence between characters we are nothing like, and worlds we will never live in— but love does not have to be exactly like it is in the movies. And that’s a good thing.
