i am, i am, i am

i'm a twenty year old homo sapien living in the outskirts of the windy city. two remarkably cool people lent me a handful of chromosomes and named me courtney because that was their right. i'm hopelessly addicted to books and music, a passion fueled almost uniquely through a steady intake of caffeine. i'm working toward a major in political science with a double minor in philosophy and french, desperately hoping that these well laid out plans don't end up with me repeating 'want more fries with that?' on a daily basis. i've smiled more in the last six months than probably the two years beforehand. i love puzzles, word games, board games and badminton. all i can hope for is happiness and a healthy dose of adventure.

i’ve been laying around watching grey’s anatomy and talking to my mom and feeling my heart break inside of my chest because life sometimes seems like a long, never ending process of letting yourself down and lowering your expectations.

this is one of those days where i reflect on how fortunate i am to have the friends that i do.

ryan, jared, ben, logan, and alex all graduated today and i spent the entire day until just now celebrating with them and their families and i’m so proud of them, truly.

they are incredible human beings, some of who will be far away next year and this was another one of those days where i wish i could freeze time for just a little while.

each day just gets better.

the way i know i’m finally okay after a long year and a half is that i’m finally dreaming again. not the night kinds of dreams, but the ones where i am more than content in a future career and i find someone who GETS me in a way that many think they might but never really do

i am making plans instead of taking things one day at a time and times when i violently jerk away from someone when they touch me are few and far between, usually due to surprise now more so than a general discomfort

i am happy, i am okay, i am dreaming

nothing about those guys are cool. they’re big and make loud noises when they run into things and they bite you and they sound gross when you kill them and they’re ugly
and last night i had to kill this bajillion legged creature in my dorm room and my roommate woke up to me repeatedly hitting the wall with my shoe
i hate insects so much

jimthepunkrockfan replied to your post: i’m covered in CLAY DUST and i’m REALLY HUNGRY so…

Festivities? You mean sleep and catch up on Community! I can support that.

that happens to be the very opposite of what i’ll be doing this weekend. i saw your post about significant others earlier… i think someone wants to be your lady friend. :P
