Free Indeed.

 
 
 
We can be free.
 
Free indeed.
 
Just a thought that's been on my heart recently.
 
Also, an update from my mind...
 
I want to go everywhere.
 
I probably wouldn't like everywhere if I went there.
 
There are so many things that go into museum work.
 
I think I'm too nice to be an "academic".
 
I really like socks.
 
I really miss theatre.
 
It's very hard to not eat chocolate when it's in the vicinity and free for the taking.
 
Whoever had the idea to put a coffee shop in a small college town was a genius.
 
They're also probably very wealthy.
 
Despicable people.
 
"Taking money from bored and stressed college kids since 2010!"
 
I wish the library here was prettier.
 
Hard-boiled eggs are the best snack ever.
 
I am thankful.
 
Despite my complaints.
 
Despite it all.

Light

 
I think that light speaks to me.
 
I'm not sure why.
 
But I soak in natural light.
 
It gives me energy.
 
It calms me down.
 
I can't stand the harsh fluorescent lights everywhere.
 
Everything is washed out, fades the colors.
 
Things look more beautiful in real, rich light.
 
There is a woship song that says,
 
"I will celebrate the light..."
 
Perhaps I will.
 
Candlelight.
 
Sunlight coming through leaves in a tree.
 
Early morning sun filtering through a curtain.
 
Twilight making everything blue.
 
I want more light.

Much.

 
The view from this window is of the cemetary.
 
And trees.
 
And rain.
 
Finally.
 
Quiet.
 
A luxury at John Brown University.
 
I'm in college.
 
It's a lot to take in.
 
But it's incredibly eye-opening.
 
Everyone here is finding their way, too.
 
That's good to remember.
 
I've been listening to violin music.
 
Reading this blog. I adore her semi-erratic writing style.
 
And being with people.
 
Many, many people.
 
Friends are made so quickly here.
 
I'm definitely not used to that.
 
I suppose you kind of have to bond, just to have someone.
 
It's just so much.
 
My mind is trying to catch up with all the names and faces and history and places and tips and lessons and advice.
 
So much.
 
But not too much.
 
Not yet.
