Right now I am lying in bed

Wondering about nothing and everything. You know, random thoughts that don't make sense but somehow are connected.

I am good at feeling stressed out.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, and I wonder why I am already living tomorrow when it's still 11:38 pm today. I am so used to doing this, running down the to do list and then feel somewhat oppressed.

Who is oppressing me, really?

Today in practicum we watched a video on couple's counseling. Once again I felt a little frustrated and irritated with interventions, strategies, clinical words, whatever. It was a hard video to watch, anyway, because the couple was so angry with each other. The state of human communication can be so dysfunctional that I am annoyed.

That probably doesn't make me too great of a counselor. I don't like to be reminded of past pain of dealing with dysfunctional relationships, even though I am really happy with my relationship with Rob today.

Anyway.

I have been reading some blogs that are written by westerners in Taiwan. It's interesting to read their perspectives and impressions of my homeland.

Sometimes, I feel so homesick.

We often think that we have arrived, only to realize that we are arriving yet again.

Insights. Words of wisdom. When I hear so many of them all the time, I seriously become a little nauseated.
