“It’s clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.”
— The Clocks, Agatha Christie (b. 15 September 1890)
I resigned from my job earlier this year. It lasted 9 months and 24 days. It seemed so short yet so long.
In my struggle to reinvent myself and my career for the third time, I hit a standstill when I realized that it wasn't worth working hard while striving to make ends meet with my meager income.
It was also tiring to live with imposter syndrome, the low fresh-out-of-college pay, and what seemed like an insurmountable climb to the high performance standards set by the management and the clients abroad. They praise my potential at first and then yank me down by listing my shortcomings until it felt like everything I did was scrutinized for mistakes I had to make up for ad infinitum.
And so I left. The people I worked with were great. I was deeply grateful for their help whenever I encountered an issue that stumped me. It saddened me to leave that kind of environment, but I knew it was time to go when my frustration kept rising and falling like a seesaw mounted by gleeful children high on sugar.
I try to reassure myself that I will find something better. Something that I can commit to with all my determination to succeed. I hope and pray that this will come true. I'll just take it one day at a time. After all, any step I make just might start a journey of a thousand miles.
don’t settle for less
We need this, especially for long-term relationships.
I mean it when I say that my reading list is longer than my life expectancy.
“Let’s raise children who won’t have to recover from their childhoods.”
— Pam Leo
This is one of the reasons why I don't want to have kids. I'm scared I might scar them emotionally. I see myself as a work in progress. There's always something else to improve, which makes me feel inadequate and unwilling to even consider the idea of parenthood.
Additionally, kids are expensive to raise and take care of, especially in this economy. The price of infant formula, diapers, and education. Not to mention all the incidental expenses, from clothes to toys to enrichment activities.
— Van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh
I dream of owning property where I can take long walks on the beach and hikes to the mountains yet remain close enough to the cities for art galleries, museums, large libraries, and fairs.
I'll enclose an area in the garden so my princely cat can spend some time in the sun or roll on the grass without a care in the world. If I marry, maybe I can persuade my spouse for us to take in a dog. But maybe not, since he already has two cats and two kittens in tow.
I'll leave near my siblings and our parents so I can visit and touch base often. I think I can be content with all that.
Feeling too much can hurt sometimes, but one day you grow and realize that your heart was never really broken. It was just wide open.
Let everything flow like water. I don't have to think or feel. Just let them pass. I do what I think is right and hope that is true. I just hope for the best.
"Let July Be July" by Morgan Harper Nichols
“That’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”
— Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
I used to think this way. And then I saw how people can say the most random things and act like they said something smart, cool, or funny. Or how they just want to hurt you in a casual way to make themselves feel stronger. Different people, different reasons.
Researchers hope their report will change the way local and national governments invest in community services
I haven’t seen this article posted anywhere outside of my immediate library-sphere so I wanted to shout about it - remember that supporting your local libraries is super duper punk rock 📚❤️
This is great, but let's not forget that generating money shouldn't be the only way to measure the worth of libraries. Libraries are wonderful because they help people and communities. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
This isn't blind optimism at all. We can't have bad days ALL the time. That's what I also say to myself, especially when I was in one of the darkest points of my life.
I’m learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me.

Knowing when to quit is important.
I needed to be somewhere different. Maybe I needed to be someone different, too.
