    Two happy places come to mind for me. When I'm really stressed and need a release, I gravitate toward the piano. On those days, I wait until I'm alone and sit in silence for a while to collect my thoughts, then I turn off all the lights and close my eyes. When I'm at the piano, a deep, resounding peace washes over me. Sometimes, when I feel particularly burdened, whispered thoughts accompany the music. As my fingers glide along the keys, I finally feel connected to my soul. Emotions rise and swell, stories are told and lost again, tears trickle down my face—I am in a blissful state of harmony, one with the piano, free to be the person I sometimes hide. My other happy place is a time late at night after a day with friends, sitting close together in a cozy corner. We share stories and very often ignite the explosion that is our collective laughter. There's a beautiful energy between us—we're connected on an emotional level. Our conversations run deep and we share our feelings, struggles, and failures, but we always walk away uplifted. Our hearts are warm, our eyelids are falling, and our brains have gone temporarily insane, but that's okay, cause everyone knows you have to go crazy every once in a while.

    It's always fun to be a tourist in your own city when family comes to visit :D

    My cousins are in town this week and we've been seeing the sights and walking the walks and touring the tours. It's been a long time since I've done this kind of thing, but honestly, it's been a lot of fun. My experience seeing the Met and Ellis Island and stuff is so different now than it was as a kid. Like, who knew museums were this fascinating??

    One thing that was super cool for me was finding some ancestors in the Ellis Island research center and all the details from when they made it to the US. It's just awesome that you can do things like that.

    Also space, planetariums, and observatories are like the coolest things in this universe—change my mind :P

    I think it's looking like you have excellent chances if you want to take them. If you really wanted to know you could go as friends to a concert or something fun you like to do and just see where it goes from there. I wish you luck!

    Friendly reminder not to let Duo take over your entire life. Well, at least don't let Duo take over your life then fight to take it back. That is all.

    Something seriously crazy just happened to me

    I'm off school, so today I've done a couple of different piano improv sessions. It's been feeling really good. A couple of hours ago I sat down at the piano and started playing, but then I just kept going.

    I closed my eyes to let the music come through me and as I played I started to fall into a trance-like state. But then I literally started dreaming. But I was still playing!

    I was conscious but not conscious if that makes sense. Like I was aware of my fingers, but pretty much everything else was skimming on the horizon of my imagination. I was interpreting my dream through the playing; the dream and music were working in tandem, weaving in and out of each other.

    About an hour went by with me dream-playing. I literally had a dream about some weird alien guy being kidnapped on a spaceship and then there was like a telescope that could see through the ocean... anyway (dreams are weird xD)—it was pretty magical. (tho there was this one wacky moment when I started playing really silly music at the birthday party started and things got weird :P)

    Anyway, it was probably one of the coolest things that've ever happened to me. I am the most relaxed I've been in months right now. Music really is therapy, y'all! :D

    You guys last night I saw the worst play of my entire life!

    Actors forgot lines, props went missing, the director had to give lines, someone LITERALLY got knocked out, and the whole set started to go kaputz.

    It was awful.
