alright I think at this point i’ll just hope no one ever finds my blog.
But here goes: finished yesterday on a good note, feeling like making real progress on my thesis. Today I got texted from a friend from my semester abroad who finished her master studies way before me and who now works at a start up apparently working really well who guess it - kind of work in the same area i am researching? wild thing (and it was always me doing the coding/developing back abroad even helping her with her other classes)
I mean its awesome that she’s doing well, but given on my three points of info (which is probably far too little to know well) i am feeling bad in comparison :// nothing to do but to take a nice little walk i think

i'm afraid to live my life, i feel guilty, i feel—shut the fuck up. step 1. shut the fuck up. step 2. shut the fuck up. step 3. focus on your breath. ruminating doesn't do shit. it just makes you feel bad. you're not accomplishing anything, you're not even being introspective, you're not being a 'good person' by telling yourself that you're a bad person; you're just sitting there exacerbating your anxiety. feel the cool air going in and out of your nostrils. feel your neck, arms, legs, shoulders, jaw, and whatever else that is tense. relax that shit or at least release some of the tension, if possible. stop clenching things. remember breath. remember cool air. fix posture. relax shoulders. sit or stand or lay comfortably. remember breath. remember cool air. don't try to avoid the thoughts but, rather, acknowledge them and move on lightly. it's ok if you can't. but remember that they are just there. they are guests who have overstayed their welcome. they are just thoughts. you will be ok. remember breath. remember cool air. you will be ok
i must not lie down on my bed with my phone. lying down with my phone is the time-killer. lying down with my phone is the little mistake that brings total academic obliteration. i will face my phone. i will permit it to show me my updated tumblr feed. and when i have scrolled past a few posts i will turn over my phone and place it down. where the procrastination has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain
YOU WILL FIND A WAY!!!! YOU WILL FIND A WAY . You will find a WAY ….. you WILL find a way . You will find a way you will find a way……!! YOU WILL FIND A WAY YOU WILL FIND A WAY you will find a Way you will (find) a way you will find. a way you will find a way YOU WILL FIND A WAY!!!!!!!
A master student’s invocation
I will be joyful while completing my thesis.
I will enjoy the process of learning.
I will enjoy the process of creating new knowledge.
I will do my best with the time that is given to me.
I will be relaxed and free in the eye of the passing time.
