I was digging through some old files and came across a document where I had archived the first 50 entries of “Happy Reading,” a blog I kept through college. It made me look back and remember a lot of things about myself and about what I was going through back then.
My freshman year of college, which these blog entries document, was not an easy one. It was possibly the hardest time of my life. But, finding this writing makes me proud of the relatively optimistic face I was able to put forward, at least on the internet.

She bit her lip as she wrote feverishly
In a journal, worn and beloved.”
Did I mention I love this tumblr?
