Haven’t written in a while. There’s something in the way, a sort of hurdle to get over. I might as well write my way through it. It’s the best way I have of getting thoughts out of the way so that I can move on and find something resembling peace…

Learning to live
September is here. Today the term starts at the university back home. It feels overwhelmingly strange to not be responsible for and stressing over and being excited about a dozen things. September is usually one of the busiest months for me, what with new courses to study for, an astronomy…
