I love this a lot. And it hit me close to home, too.

I wish I could compartmentalize better! It's my last day at my job (I leave in TWENTY MINUTES!) and now I'm freaked out about money/not having health insurance for the summer/moving/probiotics?/starting my internship/getting a tattoo. Not all of these issues are connected, but pull on any one thread, and the whole anxiety bezoar comes following after.

It is legitimately such a weird feeling, like you've been on planes and in airports FOREVER and now space and time no longer have any meaning, because all the spaces look the same, it's just rows of seats and Cinnabons and departure gates and bathrooms with motion-sensor soap dispensers that ignore you, until you no longer know who or what you are and you end up crying into a bag of McDonald's.

If you've ever read Gretchen Rubin's "The Happiness Project", one of the things she recommends is to "imitate a spiritual master", someone whose virtues and qualities you strive to student and emulate (since transcendent values are an important component of happiness). Mr. Rogers is legitimately my spiritual master.

If you like Gemuetlichkeit, can I interest you in hygge? It's a similar concept in Danish, so it's basically got more twinkly lights and candles and blankets (and risalamande, because EVERYTHING is better with a helping of rice puddling).
