"I hold a beast, an angel and a madman in me, and my inquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, downthrow and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression.” - Dylan Thomas

I just cried after listening to a voicemail from my mom. She wished me a happy Valentine’s Day, told me she loves me, and said she’ll be coming home tomorrow; and when I hung up I lost it.

This day has been a mixture of loneliness and great friendship. The day got exponentially better when I got gussied up and went out to dinner with Annie, and I swear it was one of the best meals I have had in a while. The rest of the night has been pretty chill, just hanging out at the dorms with Amber and Anna, but as soon as I got that voicemail I got super emotional the way I did this morning.

This day has still ended so much better than it began, but I’ll be happy when I can wake up feeling less hormonal tomorrow. My mom will be on her way home too, so if I cry at any point that day those tears will be happy ones.
