YOU COULD DO SO MUCH BETTER

here's another thing i don't get about girls: when you have intelligence that surpasses a peanut, how can you possibly think that only being treated like shit "sometimes" is ok? that's not ok!

that is the definition of an abusive relationship. when you stay with someone in spite of the abuse because when they aren't punching you in the face everything is fine and dandy. being alone is better than being beaten up. and the same goes for emotional abuse. you are worth more than that. if you don't see that yet, i'm so sorry. there is never an excuse to get treated like that.

you. could do. so much better.

that is all i have to say.

depression

can't sleep. good thing my morning class is cancelled, or else i would be screwed. also my roommate is sniffling from his bed because his girlfriend from home just broke it off. and it got me thinking about depression.

on the whole i would consider myself a fairly well-rounded individual. i'm not perfect by any means, and i get sad sometimes, but i've always been able to bounce back. i owe that in part to my parents, who have always been honest and supportive. but i think it's also because i have way too many things i want to do with my life to not want to power through.

the way i look at it is, let's say something really shitty happens that is completely out of my control. i figure i have two choices at this point:

1. get sad and mope around, or

2. deal with the problem as much as i can and move on

i can only control what i do. being happy or sad is my choice, and regardless of how artistically-viable it is to be depressed, i choose most days to be happy. because why the hell not?
