Addicted to Manhwas

Meditation is like being in Heaven except in an earthly form.

I have not meditated for years, if you call what I do meditating; I put relaxing music on and lay and try to relax my tensed up muscles, my shoulders and neck, and try to clear my mind of everything.

I also took a luxurious shower. It really calms me, to wash away the day's worries and thoughts. I feel better somewhat except that my shoulders are still tense.

I dreamt about my Chemistry professor yesterday; apparently, I didn't end up taking the final exam because they moved it from Lecture Hall 1 to some unknown place. Instead, they were doing something ridiculous in Lecture Hall 1, but I can't recall. I guess it shows myself that I am slightly upset with my Chemistry grade.

"I draw because words are too unpredictable.

I draw because words are too limited.

If you speak and write in English, or Spanish, or Chinese, or any other language, then only a certain percentage of human beings will get your meaning.

But when you draw a picture, everybody can understand it.

If I draw a cartoon of a flower, then every man, woman, and child in the world can look at it and say, 'That's a flower.' "
-Sherman Alexie

I was trying to find a picture from last December. It was a thin heart metal on a string. It had not been engraved yet and was smooth and cold to touch. It laid against Wrinkle in Time and was captured under my lamp's weak light.

It's funny how I know exactly how the picture should look and, yet, I want to see it again to prove to myself that it was real after all.
