I'm someone who firmly believes in the idea that someone can grow and mature, so I can be persuaded to trust people after they've broken it. It may take you literally years and years, but it happens. Well, I'm here to say: yea fuck that. Some people are just awful, and won't change no matter what you do. Sometimes this isn't their fault exactly as they are battling with deeply ingrained issues, but sweet mother of god that is not your place to heal them. Sometimes the best and only option is distance (how much distance depends on the situation).

In other news I delivered two speeches this week one introducing a fellow classmate, and another on the issue of American Infrastructure. I think both went well, but I made both so what do I know? School in general is going pretty good, and I'm definitely trying my best to be more outgoing this year (You might think that's a bit late being a senior and all, but I try not to think about the past).

My gym-going has come to a halt after I kind of hurt my left knee. It has made it nearly impossible for me to squat without further injury, so I've actually had to take a break for a week or two (at least until it feels better). If it doesn't improve in the first week I'll probably see a doctor about it.

Off the top of my head I can't really think of anything else going on in my life...I did ask a woman out a few days ago. It didn't go my way, but I'm not too beat up about it.

P.S. arguewithatree I know we haven't checked in awhile, but I hope your fitness is still going well. Mine of course has come to a halt (besides some workouts that don't involve my knee).
