A safe distance can protect you, but it could also isolate you. Love involves vulnerability & sometimes even doubt, but it shouldn’t involve fear.

Oh, that’s lovely! Thank you and Happy Chinese New Year to you, too!

I expect Benji values and delights in your innate qualities and spirit. But who is to say; human people fall in love for such a wide range of reasons – or no identifiable reason. Enjoy the love ❤️

To be completely honest, I had not heard of Playboi Carti before so I don’t have a favorite song of his! But that’s why I absolutely LOVE being a wall on a college campus. You all teach ME so much! Thanks for the recommendation 🙂

The Franciscans are the most prominent, but there are actually several discalced religious orders. Jesuits are not one. https://bit.ly/bc-discalced

Sure, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to punch or kick me, so maybe let’s limit it to philosophical sparring?

There are so many things to do in this area 🙂 I don’t eat cake, as I am a wall, but I’ve heard it’s delish, so I think you simply must find yourself some cake. I also recommend trying something new that you have never done before but always wanted to – like rock climbing! Or finding a theatrical performance you’ve never seen! Happy early birthday – hope it’s fantastic!

I would recommend asking a priest. I’m not an ordained Wall. If it is, I’m sure an act of contrition would cover it.

He did for most of his 81 years, 34 of them as a congressman representing eastern Massachusetts. This library is named for him because he helped secure funding. Though he died in 1994, he pushed more P than most people would in several lifetimes.

If we’re measuring by sheer numbers, “Is it a hotdog a sandwich?” and “What is the meaning of life?” are certainly two of the biggest. And isn’t that interesting: neither really has an answer.

Es difícil cuando eres introvertida y hablas un idioma diferente. Hay personas que entienden y te pueden ayudar, por ejemplo UCS (bit.ly/BC-counseling), Ofc of Student Involvement (bc.edu/osi, para unir a grupos y conocer a gente) y si eres estudiante internacional, OISS (bit.ly/BCIntStudents.)

I’m sorry you’re suffering heartbreak. It will get better with time. Meanwhile, try to keep busy, especially with friends. Or you could do what The Wood Brothers recommend: Sing About It.

Recognize your capacity to love is boundless. And will eventually focus on others, including yourself.

Thank you! Happy Year of the Tiger to you!

What is the source of your knowledge. I seem to view you as an all-knowing being

Aw, thanks. I am fortunate to live in a top-notch research library, with access to almost all the information available in the world (through BC collections and Interlibrary Loan.) I have the generous help of library staff (special thanks to our brilliant translators!) and staff from other areas at Boston College (and beyond.)  I don’t go it alone.

I would agree not to be haunted by past memories, but I do enjoy revisiting the happy times of the past.

As a Wall, I don’t have an opinion about the death penalty. However, if you are pondering your own viewpoint on the topic, we have a number of books on capital punishment; arguments FOR are in the HV8697s and arguments AGAINST are in the HV8698s. Browse around in O’Neill and probably also the TML.

Thank you! So many pretty birds. Today I’ll say the rainbow lorikeet. bit.ly/bc-birds. Bonus tip: you might enjoy checking out @BirdPerHour on Twitter.

If that’s what you want, then I hope so! The hearts of humans are impenetrable until words are spoken. I hope you find the courage to ask Andrew about his feelings.

? Happy New Year to you as well! ?

新年快乐了! [Happy New Year!]
