It is 1:30 AM, you are feeling anxious and not productive, so you bake a cake and try at least, finishing one assignment. I remind you that be gentle to yourself, you are trying hard till you lose sleep. You need that rest to replenish energy used. It is okay to slow down. You are doing great.

We're almost at the end of three straight months of genocide, 30k deaths, nearly two million displaced and starving. If you're still calling the situation "nuanced" and "complicated" I'm going to beat you to death with a shovel.
Third day of orientation, it was an alright session. I talked with few fellow PhD intake too from different programme. A little nervous about my journey (totally normal on being scared, seriously. It is just my mind deciding to panic and be anxious).
Actually, life is beautiful and I have time
Well well well. How the wheels on the bus have gone round and round
