Reading this quote made me tear up a little. (As an aside, does anyone else think it’s profound that tear, the noun and tear, the verb are spelled the same? Are there any etymologists on tumblr?)
I don’t know if it’s finals stress, knowing I’m graduating soon, relationship adjustments/changes, seeing my parents next week, new job the week after that, or the absolute terror I feel in regards to the entire medical school application process, but this quote is such a perfect description of me at this moment. Objectively, everything’s great … so much opportunity and hope, but I feel completely disconnected.
I will be done with finals, and my B.S., at 5pm on Thursday. After that and a full night of sleep, I’m sure I’ll be a much different person.
Right now, I want to be in the woods with a bottle of wine, a couple of close friends, some music, and millions of stars. And this is coming from a certified city girl. When I start to feel like I need to escape to the hills, I know things aren’t right.

well so do I
I’m not quite sure what you’re supposed to say
but I can see it’s not okay
