Quite the Gift

How are my uh... what are y'all... doing? It's been quite a while!

As for myself, I uh... well, it's a week of first steps, I'll say the least. A piece of evidence that the future really is in my hands.

On one hand, I get to pick my classes for next semester! They fill up awfully quick, so I made multiple choices. But I am still at a disadvantage...

I also flunked a midterm. And lived to tell the tale!

I know that sounds odd for an achievement or a means of caring for myself, and that is true: I don't think I put enough time to that class.

But I'm still alive! And I'm still planning to see the course through! Not that I've ever falsened either of those statements beforehand but it's still just as important now.

One thing I always want to be grateful for is one more day of life. This thing is tough, sad, painful, and all sorts of eugh and aughughhu...

And yet we live to see the alternative as well.

We get to bring the alternative closer to others around us.

I think that that's amazing... Yes, humanity is bad at times. I could mention wars or political concerns happening right now but I don't feel like it, and you guys by-and-large are aware of some.

But we have the capacity for good, too.

And some of us dedicate our entire lives to it.

Because why not?

Oh yeah, it's All Hallow's Eve. Suppose keeping your life would be in greater interest now, no?
