“Well I've been afraid of changing, 'cause I've built my life around you. But time makes you bolder, children get older, and I'm gettin' older too...”

-Stevie Nicks

            My roommate is not in our dorm from nine in the morning to eight at night.

            So, naturally, this gives me time alone, time that I can use to study and to read great literature and to sleep. Or time that I can use to curl up on my bed, stare at the ceiling, and let that one playlist that I made all those months ago blast from my iPod’s speakers. This is my yoga, my therapy, my prayer, my daily exercise.

            This is all I need.
