the art of lighting up a room

[mityenka]

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

Found out some GOSSIP at the post training brewery event today omg. I have to pretend I don’t know this when it gets announced at some point maybe next week 🥲

Felt elegant for afternoon tea (even though my living room is not). I’ll work on that at some point.

becoming a member of the ageing tumblr populace will have you typing shit like 'why am i always buying new tubes of toothpaste' and posting it to your followers with zero thought zero hesitation like yuuuup. really knocked it out of the park with this one

Ignore the mess in my living room, but I got new jeans that actually fit well and I felt so good in this outfit!

Alright it is interview day. I’m so excited to have this over with.

As Michael said to me a few days ago, the worst case scenario is that I keep my current job, which I like, and move on with my life. Best case (?) is I get the job, which I honestly don’t know if I want, and get to try something new professionally, and move on with my life. Either way, it’s going to be okay.

Well, my boss told me at the end of the day today that he will "touch base" with me on Monday. Does that mean they decided already?

"the album could've been cut down" wrong. i'm a freak and i love a good hour-plus long album. ESPECIALLY when i experience every emotion known to man during it

I really need this interview to be over.

My main goal for this summer is to eat a lot of sandwiches in the mountains.

today is gonna be a good day!!

the sun is SHINING and I'm going to go for a walk at lunch to soak it in after the weird weather we've had in the last week.

I have no meetings on my work calendar and get to spend the day doing the most chill, brain off design task (wiring). which means I get to listen to The Great Divide all day!

I finished my presentation slides for the interview, which is this Friday, so all I have to do for that is maybe do a practice run through after work.
