Whenever I'm having a bad day, I sleep because that seems to solve everything... temporarily. I choose to sleep to put my mind at ease and to forget about life for a moment. I know that when I wake up the problem will be there again. But it feels so good to be asleep when dreams are better than reality. Although sometimes when it's really bad, my problems take over my dreams. ):

not swimming alone
Before today, I always made my same friend go with me to the university pool. Today she wasn't available and nobody else wants or knows how to swim, but I REALLY wanted to swim so I had no choice but to go alone. I had an really terrible week full of tears, fights and unhappiness and going alone was PERFECT because I was already super stressed and didn't want to deal with anyone today. The walk there was so lonely but after getting there, a girl who had just got out of the pool immedietly started talking to me and helping me find an open lane. So sweet of her really. (: Half an hour in, I had to share the pool with a guy. Out of nowhere he said I was a great swimmer. That made me happy because little does he know I actually have not swam for almost a year haha. He was really friendly and we talked about swimming and later exchanged names. Found out he's doing his PhD, swims and runs often, and is very popular at the pool. I hate fly but he showed me and encouraged me to do it to improve it. I NEVER do fly because it's my worst and I'm always embarrassed about it. Surprising how a stranger can bring me out of my comfort zone so easily. Even more surprising how no one has ever talked to me and my friend when we go to the pool together but today when I went alone, I didn't feel lonely at all.
This made my week. I'm happy. (:

we will never meet
It's funny how there's people I see (and I know they see me!) all the time on college campus, almost every day--and some have even been in my classes before--yet we never try to break the silence and talk and maybe have introductions or something. I can only judge them from afar and quietly notice the fact that I see them everywhere! and secretly wonder if they're the same major as me because they're in a lot of my classes.
Sadly, but honestly... at this pace, we will never meet.

favorite email from a reader!
Hey Tabitha!
I just wanted to send this little email telling you how much I enjoy your blog and look up to your writing. I somehow stumbled upon you blog and ever since I couldn't help myself and had to check it for updates every few days. You're a very good photographer and I love your sense of style, because it's kinda like mine that is, it's a bit tomboyish. I'm not fluent in English so, I'm sorry about that. I always wanted a blog of my own but could never bring myself to start one and your blog is an inspiration to me. Any tips about blogging or anything? Anyways, that was it and I hope this made you even a little bit happier. I just felt like putting my thoughts forward so sorry if this annoyed you or anything. Enjoy your day:)
this wasn't like super recent but omg thank you whoever you are,
you made my day AGAIN as I was going through and reading old emails ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
name not to be disclosed (:
