Strike three

Fudge:

This dog-eat-dog world.
The colossal space that separates us.
Fate.
My noxious delayed reaction.
The Slumdog Millionaire OST.
The L Word, S06E07.

My premature thesis-related anxiety.
My natural inclination to procrastinate.

Parting is such sweet sorrow…

… That I shall say good night till it be morrow.

The stars in the sky

I may be single, but being a girl stereotypically means I am a romantic, no matter the circumstance.
