Yes. I started out pretty weak this quarter but I've ramped up every week. I stumbled once along the way but got over it quickly. I've come into my own academically and am feeling very, very confident about next quarter. And I didn't do terribly this quarter, either-it's just that I can definitely do better.

I haven't paid much attention to you recently but what I've seen has put me on the fence. I feel like you've gotten a lot more confident but it's come at a cost. In particular, I feel like a lot of the posts from you I've seen in the past month have been you jumping to bad conclusions or making assumptions about people. You seem interested in people which is always a good thing but the vibe I've gotten from your posts is one of superiority. One way to phrase it might be that I think that there's always this undercurrent in your posts about being superior, whether it's being correct while the other person is not or being smarter or being more caring or figuring out what's wrong with them, rather than really trying to understand and accept them. It comes off as very hollow to me. At times there's a bit of "I just took Psych 101" syndrome but it's more than that.
This is probably wrong-I've never actively evaluated your posts since you came back. I've seen very few. This is only at a glance.
Right now I'd probably give one to Connor on the cheek. Ever since I came back from Christmas break I've felt like a new person so I'm feeling extremely well. Each week gets better. I've been sick for my entire stint of university thus far, and finally discovered that it was simple allergies so I started taking Claritin. Since then, my mind has felt razor sharp for the first time in years and my mood has improved drastically. I also stopped sleeping 14 hours a day so I feel like I'm living more. I conquered my anxiety that has been such an inhibition for so long and for the first time can sit down and do work for however many hours I need to. Emotionally I'm better than I've ever been.
I've been in California for about a year and a half now. My only memories of it are really the few that my school rests on, with a few trips into SF and LA and Washington DC thrown into the mix.
Other than that, the only memories I have are of me locked away in an obscure corner of rural America surrounded by pine trees, waiting to burst out into the world and head to the city and beyond.
I've seen very little. I want to see more. I want to live in the city, one like NYC/SF/Shanghai, but I've got too many places to see first. I'm not eager to set down roots in one place.

A lot, what has held me back historically has been the financial aspect of it. I'm in a position to go now, though, and I think I'm going abroad for the first time since I moved stateside for spring break-I'm heavily considering buying a plane ticket to Tokyo/Seoul/Oslo and traveling solo for about two weeks. I also looked up how hard it'd be to get to you/Connor's doorstep in the event I went to Oslo for fun.
I will be studying abroad next year though, 10 weeks in Oxford and maybe 10 weeks in Kyoto if I have time-we'll see. I'll probably be doing a lot more traveling senior year though as my financial situation improves.

Let me illustrate my definition of gay for you here Slowbro.
Things that are gay, in order of gayness:
1. Tatami's posts in this thread 2. Losing at mafia 3. Actually being homosexual

This is going to be less of an opinion and more of a ramble. I know virtually nothing about who you are currently. I was too stupid and awkward and selfcentered to accurately gauge how you were before, but I do know that you are an extremely caring person. Earlier last year I was in a very terrible, vicious state of mind in which I just wanted everyone to go away and you tried very hard to get me to talk to you to no avail. I regret that very much and I'm sorry-I think about it every month or so. I'm also very grateful for how much you've helped Connor develop as a person, and presumably he's done the same for you but I really only see him nowadays.
You kinda suck at mafia though. Not really. But kind of.

If anyone else wants to organize a gay intervention for Tatami just shoot me a PM. It can be an intervention to stop him from being so gay or an intervention where we all just act super gay, IDC.

It varies, because different people lose track of themselves in different ways.
First would be that you should always remember that the most beautiful thing in the world is to love and be loved by other people. I mean this in the sense that no amount of success in the world will make up for that.
Second would be to just be honest. Not in the sense of being critical of people a lot, but speaking about yourself. Don't try to appear as someone you're not or have aspects of yourself you feel like you need to hide. It generally works out better that way.
Third is to keep in mind that to get people worth keeping in your life, you have to be one. If you want other people to be kind, be kind yourself. If you want to meet other ambitious people, be ambitious yourself. If you want to live easily and just have fun, that's totally okay too. Just know that the people who surround you are a reflection of yourself-make yourself into the type of person you'd want around you.
More niche but the thing I wish that I had been told is that it's okay, and even a great thing to fail. You don't have to succeed on your first, or second, or thousandth time to be great. Using basketball as an analogy, it's better to be the worst player on the court trying your best than it is to sit on the sidelines telling yourself you'd be the best. You learn more that way. Michael Jordan would have never been Michael Jordan had he not been okay with taking shots he could potentially miss. He missed thousands and thousands of times, and lost hundreds of games. Being the best, or being great, or learning anything at all, takes you being willing to fail.
