ever think about how much you used to suck...
…. and how much you still do?
Sometimes when I get bored I find it interesting to look at the old shit I’ve posted on facebook from when I was like a sophomore. Earliest things I found were notes from when I was 15 (though I had to specify that I was closing in on 16. That was so necessary) and god damn I was so annoying!
First of all, I was terrible about fishing for compliments. No...

hi. my name is caroline...
…and I can’t fucking sleep.
I sometimes take Nyquil to fall asleep… but apparently that’s shitty for your liver or something and it always makes me feel super groggy. I wake up randomly, usually multiple times before my alarm, and yet once it’s time for me to actually get up, it’s difficult as fuck. I will admit to having said ‘fuck it’ one day last...
books!
The internet, while a wonderful place, seems to have swallowed up a lot of my free time. As someone who thoroughly enjoys books and reading, this is actually sort of unfortunate, because I’m really bad at stopping with the online wanderings and picking up a book instead.
I’m trying to read more, and there’s a huge list of books I’d like to get to— but it’s hard...

on mental health
Recently I’ve been trying to be less… unhappy. I’ve found that this is actually very difficult for me sometimes, because I often fall prey to negative thinking. So I’ve been working on changing the way I view situations. Bad habits are hard to break, but I think overall I’ve been doing a fairly good job.
Things I’ve been doing/trying to do:

I think I would like it very much if I were to find that for someone out there, this quote is true for them about me. Of course I have in my heart someone who fits this description but I think that ultimately, it is a selfish wish. Is that crazy? I suppose this is based upon the...
ill
Somehow tonight turned into a big pile of suck. I feel really sick, for one thing, and I’ve just gotten myself to a point where I’m really really unhappy. I’ve got a lot of work to do which I’m currently neglecting. I kind of don’t care. Which is scary, because apathy has never worked well for me when it comes to things I have to get done, schoolwork in particular....
a brother's inebriated affection
My sibling is the single most important person in my life. This has always been a given for me. In those stupid district-wide surveys meant to gauge the physical and mental health of students, I could always check ‘true’ for the statement “There is an adult outside of school who I feel cares about me.” (Funnily enough, once high school rolled around my parents didn’t...
