The grey skies look down on me, perhaps disgusted by the mere thought of this day existing. Another day in a foreign land, another day without the comforts of home or the semblance of the life before. How do you adjust to newness? How do you adjust to a new mindset, a better mindset? Why does the effort seem to be so enormous when once you take all those steps, the goal is all you’ve dreamed about? What a terrifying thought to have, moving away from everything you’ve known.

Rigor samsa - (n.) a kind of psychological exoskeleton that can protect you from pain and contain your anxieties, but always ends up cracking under pressure or hollowed out by time—and will keep growing back again and again, until you develop a more sophisticated emotional structure, held up by a strong and flexible spine, built less like a fortress than a cluster of treehouses.
Ambedo - (n.) a kind of melancholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—which leads to a dawning awareness of the haunting fragility of life, a mood whose only known cure is the vuvuzela.
