Late Nights and Early Mornings


With the end of the term upon us, I've been seeing a lot of this intermediary time. Those wee little hours that are ostensibly morning but feel more like night. Those hours where everything seems a little surreal. Where everything is both less important and more intense. This feels a little bit like a homecoming for me. These hours are my most natural habitat. They are when I am the most creative, the most verbose, the most gregarious, the most connected with myself and my world. They are also when I am at my most vulnerable, my most melancholy, my most contemplative. It's a strange existence for a strange time.

I'll never regret...


I was reminded again tonight that I never regret making time to spend with friends. I kind of wish I could have given my freshman self this advice: sometimes you just need to step away from the paper and have some fun.

(No, I did not go to the beach today. I live in Alberta and it is March. Getting to a beach involves planes. This picture is from several years ago in Mexico.)
