One of the scariest things about grad school that I've been thinking about lately is the isolation, being even farther (further?) away from people I know and people I love. I'm really bad at keeping in touch with people. And grad school will be the end of "breaks". They'll be vacation days now, right? Anyways, been listening to this song a lot lately. I really like it...the music, the lyrics. It makes me not worry so much about things to come. Can't wait til Jason Mraz's new album comes out in April.
In other musical news, I discovered a new song by John Mayer. It doesn't suck! I'm hoping he's making a comeback. I just pretend that his last album doesn't exist.
Of course, I’m not talking about needing one another in obsessive, insecure ways, but I am saying that it should be socially acceptable for men and women to admit to ourselves and those around us that we need one another. Maybe it’s not in the same way we needed each other 60 years ago—women can change their own tires and make their own money; men can cook and clean for themselves. But we still and will always need each other for companionship, emotional support, intimacy, to feel special and valued and cared for and safe, to be inspired. We don’t just want those things. We, as human beings, need those things.
