thank you!!oof i feel this. i hope everything goes well! sending good vibes your way.
i hope so!! i think it’s only gonna be for 30 minutes, i hope she does guide the chat though bc i’m gonna be too nervous to say much haha but thank youu!!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
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?
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’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'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 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.
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...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
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 lolI 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.
