Translation: Means "I Love You"

Here is something like a confession:¹

Wednesday afternoon I had a panic attack in the library. All of the messy feelings and stress that I've been feeling for the past semester hit me all at once and I simply could not be there. I went home and laid in my bed and cried to my mother and she told me that I should see someone. So I am.

Things are better now. I've been good to myself--sleeping more, relaxing more, tackling things as they come. This video of Leslie Feist covering Broken Social Scene's "Major Label Debut" has helped, too.

¹ I skimmed through this 30 page article and I don't understand any of it. It's 8pm the day before my presentation and I'm doing this instead.
