Monday Blues

I was feeling eeky and blah today, owing to a case of the Monday blues with some amazingly 'fine' weather in Malaysia, no thanks to the heatwave. At times like this, I tell myself it's alright if I am not feeling okay. A wacky combination of green tea and chocolate milk could save the day. 

Much of the PhD (and life, I've realised) is about letting go. I love this song by Audrey Assad. Even if you aren't a Christian, you might relate to some lyrics that authentically capture a spectrum of human struggles. I admire how she shares the 'sticky' complicated experiences of yearning and unproductive attachment to unhelpful habitual patterns in a beautiful song.
