How am I expected to know what to do with my life?

YES

The physical safety of women in a given country is a better predictor of its peacefulness than wealth, level of Islamic influence, or even strength of democracy. Violence against women...may account for more deaths than all the wars of the 20th century. This kind of cultural aggression likely sparks increased nationalism and, eventually, warfare.

Did I just get teary while watching RuPaul's Drag Race?

(TRANSLATION: IT MEANS - ---- ---)

The Wexner Center usher party gave me free wine, free Cafe Bella, free Jeni's, and my first raffle win ever.



Also, I finally made this (translation: I really am leaving).
We sat in a room in the dark, then Diana came in and she laughed and laughed and it was so funny that I laughed myself awake.

DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE SAD? IT'S BECAUSE YOU READ TOO MUCH DOSTOEVSKY

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor--such is my idea of happiness. And then, on the top of all that, you for a mate, and children, perhaps--what more can the heart of man desire?

--Leo Tolstoy, Family Happiness
I am sad and sick and dumb and angry.
