Wellbeing

I was driving home on an autumn evening
Accidentally on a backroad route
Leaves turning
John Mellencamp on the radio station – I’ve always loved the oldies – 

Let’s start with a story. The routine was like clockwork. My La La Land “City of Stars'' themed alarm would blare at 6:30am.

As the leaves change color – gently falling in the late summer breeze, clinging to the humid days of August – and classes start to begin again, I’ve come back to UVA this year intending to make Charlottesville my own.

Here is what I did when I first got here: I meticulously cleaned my apartment.

I’ve met both sisters of Persphone
one so unlike the other.

I sometimes wonder if I have pockets full of invisible nickels that try to ground me on the days I don’t know what I’m doing.

Let me contemplate my relationship with infinity.

Nationally, PERIOD is an organization that fights period poverty and stigma through pillars of education and service and advocacy...

“How does it feel?” Everyone asks me. I clutch the crinkled plastic bag with my cap and gown and tassel in it.
