Good Stuff

So life's tough right now. My health is acting up while I'm supposed to be juggling an internship and an independent study. I'm living at home, and my mother at least partially blames me for my health problems. And if I can't handle an internship, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to find a job when I graduate in a year and move out of my parents house.

So, it's time to focus on the good stuff:

*I have fabulous friends
*I have a wonderful girlfriend. She's in a different state right now, but I do get to see her every week or two and talk to her almost every day.
*In a month and a half, I'm going to study abroad.

Working on remembering the good things

I'm feeling a little stressed and upset, so I thought I would post some things that have been making me happy.

• The song "Hide and Seak" by Imogen Heap (This YouTube video has the song and lyrics. Or you can find the lyrics here.)
• An online world of friends and people who understand what it's like to be constantly ill and in pain. And who help me cope and live better.
  
• Learning. Seriously, I love learning new things :)
• Feminism and feminists :)
• My best friend for starting a conversation about disability and telling me that I am not making up the hurt I feel. (Dear self-doubt, my friends will help me defeat you.)
• Lauredhel at Feminists with Disabilities decided to include two of my posts in the recommended reading posts last week.
• I am watching Un Long Dimanche de fiancailles (A Very Long Engagement) tomorrow night with friends. Love that movie!
