my drama teacher told us today, while we wee attempting to act out a scene where we had to make character choices, that

"boring choices make for a boring life"

and I just thought that was beautiful. no 5 year old looks at their future and says "I want to work a 9-5 job and eat the same food everyday for the rest of my life." no. they say "I wanna be an astronaut" and "I want to travel the world" and "I want to bungee-jump off a bridge"

a 5 year olds thoughts are never boring. caused boring choices leads to a boring life. so why do we settle? why don't we follow our dreams?

Another study day. My study log hours has been increasing and I’m happy about that. It has been raining these past few days so I prefer to stay in. I am going to tutor today and attend a meeting tonight, but that’s all. The weather makes me want to skip gym day since my day is also full.

“THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.”

Hi! About 5 more days left for my exams and I found out:

A) The first exam which was supposedly just a pass or fail thingy is actually graded and it was one big misunderstanding? Uhhhh not sure what to do now though

B) I have a mock this weekend that I really didn’t anticipate/make time for so uhhh not sure what to do now part 2

Lowkey getting to the point of being too fed up, pissed and overwhelmed I just wanna say fuck it and sleep all day but guess I have to push through 🙃

It’s only 5 something in the morning here. Normally I don’t get up until around 7 am but my phone has been going off all night with news notifications. I’ve had a very shallow sleep and it seems futile to continue trying at this point. I thought I would type this out because it almost feels like my mind won’t let me rest until I do.

I have a mutual on here from Ukraine. They don’t seem to be active anymore, not for some months now, but I remember them very well. They love cats—something we share. And it was encouraging to have a fellow multilingual as a mutual. They struck me as a resilient, intelligent and for a lack of a better adjective, just plain cool individual. I look up to them. We never really talked all that much about anything too personal but I remember very clearly an act of kindness they showed me. And at some point they asked me to check in on them as they worked through their final thesis for graduation. They went to school in Donetsk.

The past few days of news about Ukraine, more specifically Donetsk and Luhansk, have felt like an iron ball in my stomach, getting heavier and heavier, almost like it has its own magnetic field. Every news headline popping at the top of my screen feeds it and I feel like I’m slowly being consumed from the inside out. Normally, I try not to let these things get to me, and I definitely try not to be too political here. A certain part of me has accepted that the world we live in is vile and twisted in ways I’m not even fully aware of. But this is different. All I can think of is them, if they’re alright, if they managed to get away—if they’re okay.

In the process of typing this, news of explosions heard in Ukrainian cities have come out and the world is sinking faster, careening back to a place it should never return to. I am heartbroken for Ukraine. I cannot fathom what it is you’re all feeling right now—utterly unable to figure out how to even face the morning and the days to come. I am but a small, insignificant and rather ignorant 20 something year old. I am very limited in what I can do but I do know that the world is with you, Ukraine.

To this mutual, I don’t know if this is strange to hear but I mean this: my heart is with you. I know you haven’t had an easy time for a while before you last posted and while we were never close, I have never forgotten about you. I hope you are safe wherever you are now. I am thinking of you.

I don’t think God would be like: “oh, wait, I can’t manifest today, I didn’t wake up at 6 am and didn’t drink 20 liters of water, I didn’t write in my gratitude journal one million things I’m grateful for and I’m feeling sad today so I just know I can’t manifest, by the way I completely forgot to check out those 300 law of assumption blogs and read their posts until my eyes get sore.”

Stop looking for limiting beliefs and constant validation, stop second guessing yourself. You are God. There is no if, but, time, there isn’t anything that you don’t want. It’s your decision and things can and will appear whenever you want it.

23 years old and I’ve never had a significant other.

I’ve never held hands with someone. I’ve never gone out on a date. I’ve never even been kissed. It never used to really affect me, all of this. I always had this innate confidence that it wouldn’t be like this forever; that my person would come when they’re meant to. But lately, it’s been weighing on me. I’m not a middle-schooler anymore, or a teenager. As each year goes by, it seems more and more out of reach.

Maybe it’s seeing all of my old friends from school getting engaged on social media or moving in with their SO. Maybe it’s because we’ve been in a pandemic for two years and having someone to love and feel loved by would bring a sense of comfort and lightness. I’m not really sure. All I know is, it’s a heavy feeling, this feeling like you’re not desirable or wanted. It makes you so afraid that you’ll never find anyone, because how could you if all you’ve ever known your entire life is being single? The thought of being in a relationship *EVER* is like a pipe dream to me. How horrible to feel that way.

But I still hope for it, just the same. It’s just that the hopefulness if starting to get painful.

Don’t Get Burned Out During Your Journey

This way of life is very big on appearances and perception. Maintaining your sanity is important for progressing on your journey and enjoying your experience to the fullest.

If you feel like laying in bed longer than usual, stay in bed for 15 to 20 minutes then walk around for 15 minutes. So the bed won’t call back to you, wear jeans instead of your usual pajama pants.

If you don’t want to wear a full face, pat on eyeshadow with your finger with a matching shimmer in the middle. Wear eyeliner if you want to and wear voluminous mascara or lashes.

Make your heels as comfortable as possible. Wear inserts, stretch out the toes (either yourself or by a cobbler) and practicing walking in them at home. If you’re wearing heeled boots, wear boot socks that are thick and fluffy so you’re walking on air.

Don’t always leave the house with an intention to spend. It’s fine to stay in, sightsee or save your money.
