Blogging is Good for the Soul

At the beginning of the term, I met a very cool art student. I am not sure if it is the fact that she is a freshman, or that she is a ginger, or that she somehow seems to have surpassed my maturity so easily and suffers the same life-problems that I do, that gets my blood riled up. She has been a very good friend to me since we met, despite the fact that we haven't seen much of each other.

Near the beginning of the term, I found out that she keeps a blog (found here). Or, more to the truth, she has re-started to blog. Being an avid fan of women (and yes, hoping to figure out how they think), I decided that it would be a good read. I've even surprised myself with how much I keep up with her through it.

But more to the point, I am most certainly in awe of how her life's struggles seem to mirror my own, despite the fact that she is a handful of years my junior. She makes some well stated arguments, and I even find myself admiring some of the advice that her blog offers. I wish that my own life's experiences could help me to guide her, but I believe that she is doing quite well on her own.

So, here's to you, Master of the aesthetic form! May you live in good health, and may you find a way to truly feel alive.
