Precipice

Whenever I think of cliffs and precipices, I always imagine the ones that are in Scotland? Ireland?  I know it's somewhere in the northern British Isles with a cold, angry ocean beneath.  I think I indulged in too many Old English tales as a child.... 

It's times like these that I feel I really see things as they are.  There is no haze of love and happiness, just... reality.  I find that I need the buffer in order to function.  I think it's a human need.  Let's see, according to Maslow, our basic needs are: air, water, shelter, food, and sex.  Walking up the pyramid, we pass by safety and security and on to love and belonging.  Love and belonging....  Next are esteem and finally self-actualisation. It's good to know that psychology degree isn't going to waste.

I'm glad that even in my emotional troughs, and I am entirely overdramatic, I can keep perspective.  I just recalled that I went through this same emotional tumult when I started off at UCF.  Ugh, the drama of the College Democrats.  We put the 'fun' in dysfunctional.  I reckon it was around this same three-month mark that the strain began to really show. I would know only, I deleted that blog.  Five years worth of knowledge gone.  Damn. Talk about impulsive and irrational.

I think I'm done here. TG my words are finally flowing again.  maybe now I can finish those two bloody assignments. >:/
