possibly the subway was not the smartest place to suddenly get this goal but there was a sad looking guy wearing a shirt with buttons, and a watch, and reading something about investing and I thought he should have a kiss and while it’s not a real regret I am not planning on doing it again.

My enlightenment comes and goes for a few months at a time. I miss it. I got it by doing something really similar to the power of now, just thinking about how incredibly good each moment feels. Modern people (except the chronically ill and other special cases) are almost always physically comfortable and most of my problems are concerns about the future or myself. Even when I am physically uncomfortable it’s the thought of what I wish I was doing or how much longer I have to be uncomfortable that really bothers me.

Those circles made me look old or sick or something! I’m sure they’ll come back for finals week but I got rid of them by sleeping for hours every single night and entirely giving up daily eye makeup. I am completely incapable of leaving my eyes alone so I would always smudge it under my eyes and even though I’d wash it off the washing was bad for my under eye circles.

I still wear it on occasions, but for everyday fake eyelashes are a lot less messy than mascara. And that's coming from someone who used mascara for 6 years and never mastered keeping it on on a rainy day or taking it off completely every night but is pretty proficient at fake eyelashes after a week.
