do what you must if that's what you wish


once upon a time, there was a group of 6 young women nicknamed "thinktank" by some boy who noticed how smart they all seemed to be with one another. 5 of them used to play pool a lot in order to become pool sharks. three of them used to be japanese. all 6 of them shared in a general bond that helped them get through hard times and enjoy fun times! but then 2 of them went away for a semester. things were different but still the bond existed between them, especially the 4 who remained. then the 2 came back and the 4 left to go away. and the 2 who remained found it difficult to get along, not with each other but without the other "thinktankers." and without the dynamic of at least 3, things were a bit slow. the 2 sat and longed for the other 4 to come back home, all the while growing in different directions and sometimes enjoying meals and study sessions together... the 2 missed the other 4 and could not wait to see what life would be like again with the 6 reunited...

once upon a time, there was a little prince in a little girl's life. somehow they became really close. he took care of her and she tried to care for him. after a couple of years, the little girl realized that since the beginning there had been an imbalance. but she didnt know how to communicate it to the little prince. feelings escalated however the little girl continued to be passive, even passive-aggressive until she could not deal with it anymore. she cut the little prince out of her life and didnt look back, as she grew up. yet with time, she realized her unfair treatment of the little prince that she had cared for. she did not want to go back into time, for the person she had become was someone she liked. but she did want to make amends to the little prince one day and explain to him what had happened.

once upon a time, a sheltered and protected young lady went away to a foreign land. she worried about how people would treat her and worried about how genuine any of her friendships would be. but somehow, amidst all the people in the universe, she was mixed together with people who were real and genuine, not changing who they were to accomodate her needs or preferences. and although it was awkward and uncomfortable at the time, she realized what an amazing experience it was for her to be treated not in accordance with her preferences but in accordance with how all the friends were collectively. the power of starting over in a new place helped her realize that she could try new things out and it would be okay. in addition, she realized how important those friends from the foreign land had become. she had to leave foreign land and her friends. but most days after her departure, she thought fondly of her friends and tried her best to keep in touch. they had touched her life in amazing ways.
