9.What should you be doing right now?LOL SO MANY THINGS. Studying for my QR exam, writing my reflection paper for my theatre class, emailing Terry Tyler to ask him what exactly our final is because he never fucking said, SEQs, sending my graduation announcements, getting my shit together, packing… I should probably go to bed at some point too.
29.How many TRUE friends do you have?There are four people back home that I know will always have my back no matter what. And here at Wellesley, I count basically all of the SD7 and Shakes as true friends. I’m really, really lucky that there are so many people that I know truly care about me and give a damn what happens to me.
45.Your thoughts of long distance relationships?lol my last relationship worked so much better as an LDR than when we were on the same campus. It was a lot easier for me to rationalize the weird disconnect I was feeling as “oh it’s because we’re long-distance, I’m sure I’ll feel much more sure of this when we’re close together again.” I think the LDR-ness of that summer hid the fact that I just don’t feel certain things, and I was excusing it because I thought it was the distance. so that was a thing.
general thoughts on LDRs, idk, I understand that they don’t work for certain people because physical intimacy is a huge part of why some folks choose to be in a relationship. but—I guess speaking as a person that doesn’t have a huge drive for that—I think sometimes people put too much focus on the physical intimacy part of it? I think if you’ve got the emotional intimacy and you’re willing to put in the necessary relationship work—that you would have to put in anyway for, y’know, a non-LDR—I don’t see why it wouldn't work? I think some people think they don’t have to do the usual relationship work because it’s long-distance, but that’s crap. I don’t do relationships and even I know you always have to work at a relationship.
oops i apparently had a lot of feelings about that
