i think i need more art and vegetables in my life.

something tells me that i need to get away from the rat race. the rat race is making me physically react to it. i can't really do much to help it.

but vegetables and art are two things that tell you to "chill out". art is like vegetables for the soul. it's a little hard to get into, but they give you wonderful things after.

and it's more zen than ever because these things have to be taken on the regular, over time. it's not like a laxative that you can pop in your coffee and have its effects felt immediately.

art can't be saturated. i've listened too many times to Have One On Me that it doesn't feel organic any more. maybe it isn't meant to be felt that way. but Pleasantry, even though they aren't breaking much new musical ground, is scattering and shattering my emotional state. it's making me relax. it's making me ascend, but at the same time i'm brought back with new vigour.

here's to living healthy. gym has been going well for me, 3 years-ish now, without a hitch. exercise, art, and vegetables. i even bought my own chicken breast to cook for dinner just now.

Ben is lovely, thanks for asking. i hope i'll be happy enough without him at the exchange. separation is difficult. living alone is difficult. well, those thoughts don't have to be. i have to get back to my semestral work. ah.

art and vegetables. =)
