carved angel

despite waking up early on purpose so that i could sleep tonight, i'm awake. i think part of the problem is that i fell asleep while studying. that, and i'm in serious denial about things that always feel beyond my control.

anyway.

i was going to post about some thoughts regarding the way i'm handling mum's death, but i think it would be mostly incoherent.

so instead i'll share my responses to a thingy that i've seen here and there on livejournal.
