Dog eared.

"1968: Do not resent her. Think about the situation, for instance, when you take the trash bag from its box: you must throw out the box by putting it in that very trash bag. What was once contained, now must contain. The container, then, becomes the contained, the enveloped, the held. Fine more and more that you like to muse over things like this." -How to Talk to Your Mother (Notes) by Lorrie Moore

I usually dont mark or mar my books up, i figure the abuse they suffer in my backpack everyday is far enough, but i did dog ear this page in my 30/30 book for my writing class because i thought it was super interesting. "What was once contained, now must contain." How beautiful is that? It reminds me of how in life our scenarios and roles and outlooks and feelings are constantly changing. Perhaps in one relationship you are the caregiver and when you are hurt by that person the next relationship you find, you are the one being cared for. or maybe its just about growing up and getting over yourself. as things in life change, we adapt, we move on.we figure it out and we become better (or in some cases worse i suppose haha) for it. i remember in the 8th grade the theme of that school year that we did projects on over and over and over again until our heads were bleeding was the human condition. but i am amazed by the strength of the human condition.

i dont really know why im rambling on all philosophically like i know shit. haha. well counting today ive got 6 more days of classes! then on into the great abyss. maybe everyone reading this can cheer me up from my outlooks of gloom and doom by getting me a Christmas present. Or, if youre just looking for a present for someone special, I suggest you go to etsy.com (buy american motherfuckers!) everything on this sight is handmade (or antique). They have a fabulous selection of really unique jewelry all of which i love haha i even found a necklace that looks quite similar to the one that belonged to Andrew Largeman's mother in Garden State. Anyways, just thought id do a little plug for that little treasure i found haha.

i got slammed in critique this morning. but whatever, six more days...
