It’s completely understandable to be nervous, especially about first meetings. I find that they can be the easiest though since it’s usually just an introduction one! Saying hello, telling your name, maybe what classes you’re taking at the moment - hopefully she’ll help guide the chat a little bit especially if she can tell your nervous. I hope it all goes well

Wish I could eat something other than stuff like jello and apple sauce right now. It's not that those foods are bad, but they get old really fast when it's all you can eat. Thankfully it's only for a couple weeks but that won't stop it from feeling way longer.

So I spoke too soon about my packages coming earlier than expected. One i
of them got delayed. It was SUPOSSED to come yesterday.

Also, it was already in my city. Why did it end up going to another city, then ANOTHER city? Now it's not even in my city and it hasn't moved since 2am today, so it's surely not coming by today

it's Friday night which means everybody and their damn brother is making as much noise as possible in this dorm and im over here w my exhausted sensory inputs just tryin to sleep :,,,,,,)

(I would use earbuds but every pair I've ever bought has broken so that's not happening lol)

My jap. teacher is moving schools or something, which makes me upset because I love that teacher and my class in general. It would also be very frustrating if the elective is removed entirely and i'd have to take 2 years of a different language class allover again, and none of the other languages at my school are all that interesting to me and I REALLY don't want to take them.

Eh I’m just tired and irritable. I should go to bed, but I don’t feel like doing anything...

 

[Alienfish]

Feeling way too tired, damn waking up too early and I thought it was Sunday

 

[xSuperMario64x]

the fact that my dad seems to be totally in favor of the voter suppression in Georgia and against the HR1 bill honestly makes me lose a great deal of respect for him (as if I really had any lmao)

 

[Shellzilla_515]

Sometimes, I feel like I'm being way too passionate about some things that I might come off as obnoxious.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

also I really really need to work on art trades but I'm just not in a mood or state of mind to draw at all and it super sucks :,,,>

Edited because I’m more bummed about how we’re handling covid.

Cases are rising, ICU numbers are rising, we know that these new variants are worse. So what do we do? Keep everything open, apparently. Because we are “rolling out vaccines” (we haven’t even fully vaccinated our elderly population yet) so that somehow means we can just ignore the terrible numbers?? My area, which has been relatively okay throughout, is also seeing a rise in cases and we have an outbreak in our hospital.

Makes me want to scream.

Any other Chinese-Canadians watching U.S.-China relations further deteriorating and feeling terrified for the world? Why can't we all just get along?

I’m not a Chinese-Canadian but watching how things are unfolding is awful. I just don’t understand how people can do things like that and think they’re justified. I really wish we could all just get along too and if you ever want to vent or anything my PMs are open

That means a lot, thank you! My family and I are safe, and honestly, I am very grateful that we live in a community that is majority Chinese. It's just exasperating that it's the 21st century and everyone can't just coexist peacefully and some people treat others differently based on differences in skin colour, beliefs, sex, etc. Sending good vibes your way!

I have an ear infection where my earring stud is.

To make matters worse, because it is SO swollen, part of my earring stud is literally INSIDE my ear. Like, you can't see the front piece anymore whener the gemstones normally is. That or that part broke off, which kinda doesn't make things any better.

It's swollen, super pain sensitive and red.

Sorry for not replying in these past few days, I was really busy ;o;

Spoiler: snip

I just wanna say i felt this? It's the reason I became inactive in instagram and uninstalled it for the longest time in the previous years.

I also felt like a boring person going through that specific social media because everyone seems to be doing something worthwhile compared to me. But i guess i realized that, without comparing myself to others, whatever makes me content should make me the version of myself I'm happiest with. I can improve at my own pace and happiness.

Sorry I started to ramble about me. Anyway, i do think uninstalling or going off IG altogether is a healthy step for you. You should do things that make you happy and content. Plus, chasing your dreams at a later age isn't all that bad; I too have my "what ifs" and although I feel pretty old, I'm trying to check off those "what ifs" I kept thinking about in high school and college. No shame in chasing your dreams still.

That's also the reason why I disabled my personal instagram. The only ones I have rn are my spam account and my art account but I should probably disable my spam account too because it's slowly becoming an vent account lol. And you are right, it's never too late to pursue your dreams, it's just sometimes it's really hard to be honest to yourself when people around you are getting scholarships to travel around the world or actually getting interviewed by big national news stations for something they did (not exaggerating this). Because of that, sometimes I feel like I'm not enough when the only thing I'm doing rn is struggling with classes and rarely ever leaving my house, so it really can be discouraging >->

i meant to respond to this earlier but i got sidetracked ;;; but i totally relate with this!! i uninstalled instagram abt 2 months ago and it was probably the best decision i made. i was constantly comparing myself to my friends and how they had “”better”” lives than i did because i never did anything or went out anywhere worthy enough to post. but i really recommend deleting it, it did wonders for me and my mental health <3

You're right, as I said before above, I really should have just left Instagram completely, even though the only reasons I use it now is to keep in touch with people. But even doing that passively has a negative effect for me because even then I'm still subconsiously comparing myself...

Spoiler

I should really do this too, I mean sure it has been great for some communication with stores since it made things easier to arrange in special cases and such but yeah it's like.. sure I got back my neopets account and made connection but yeah really.

I get this, Instagram (or really any other big social media site) is really good with connecting with people, but I will admit that even trying to connect with people on there has been....difficult. I probably should have just given up and moved on since it seems like people i try to befriend on any large social media site just doesn't want me around, or I'm just too awkward for my own good lol

I broke one of the cabinet doors while trying to look for something. I was crouched on the floor and I grabbed onto the bottom cabinet door and a large section cleanly snapped and fell on the floor.
