one month

all i have

giving it

disappointment

how low must my expectations go?

searching for strength.

miss the swimmer

shocked
disappointed
hurt
confused

wishing her success!

another wonderful day spent riding the wave of productive non-productivity

watching her try, fail, try again

so proud

 miss; transformed!

i wish it were groundhog day

but man, it's grating!

occassional all-nighters

for only 5 hours

it's too heavy
