- Lost 2 lb since yesterday. Glad that the Thanksgiving weight gain is coming off. I mean I gained 5 lb in 3 days... that's kind of impressive, but sucks at the same time.
- Well, the GIS professor got back to me really fast. Unfortunately though it's not looking good for my project. GIS is apparently really bad for depth data... which I hadn't known when I started my project. There are some things I can try, but I'm not sure what the results will be.
- We are currently under severe winter storm watch, so my orchestra rehearsal was cancelled tonight. While I'm sad that it was cancelled, it means I have more time right now to work on my finals.
I posted this on my Facebook from one of my other friends. It sums up exactly what I've been thinking-- I feel like society puts a great emphasis on helping someone and being sympathetic toward someone who has a physical illness that they can see. However, it is unimportant to most people to be there for someone emotionally who is going through some sort of emotional trauma because they can't see the manifestation of the pain and assume that it doesn't actually exist.
Mike commented on it, and he had a really interesting viewpoint. He and I come from opposite sides of the spectrum, but it's interesting that after discussing something we originally disagree on we find that we agree on something. When he read the post, he viewed it as "people should use positive thinking to help overcome physical ailments."
A lot of times when this happens I get annoyed, but this time I just thought it was interesting that he read the same thing I did and had a completely different reaction to it, but then he agreed that people are generally stupid trolls after I explained why I had posted it.
Today's reflection:
Had a nice conversation with my cousin again today haha. I told her that I probably wouldn't take Sam's boy advice without a grain of salt again, since this was the second time he had given me bad advice (the first time being when he told me that Ray hadn't made a permanent decision when he told me he didn't want to be friends, and then he convinced me to text Ray and tell him I would always be there for him if he needed me... yeah worst decision ever). We think he gives bad boy advice because he wants to believe in the good in people.
This got us talking about happiness, and how we both are not really happy but we want to be. The reason I am not happy is because a lot of bad shit happens to me, and as a result it's very hard for me to trust people anymore. Laura said she understood and it was awful stuff. But then she said that I would always have Cousin Laura <3
