Bragging

Brag about things not worth bragging about. Brag about things that make your life worse. youre probably mean to yourself most of the time anyways so go on! Have a little brag!

Understand what is really happening

my first wondering — when you talk about feeling guilty over good things happening — is why is that? What is driving that guilt? And also, is it really guilt or something else? Like, fear that it is going to be yanked away or that it’s all a facade?

class rage and loneliness

I got no idea how to even begin describe my resentment (and guilt because of said resentment) towards my friends who have it better than me. I once had to sleep with no heater (on winter!) because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to pay the bills. Another time, I literally passed out because I didn’t have any meals for 24 hours. I had work, then class, then more work that I just forgot to eat. I’m in infinitely better place now - I could send my Mom money and I have an average savings on my account. I also maintain friendships, many of whom with people that come from better families than me. i promise you im not always so resentful. But today, when a friend of mine posted a random compliment a stranger gave (“you really have it all! A career, a startup of your own, and youre good at sports and so hot!“) and I just couldn’t shake the ugly green monster inside of me. He was born from a wealthy family — with more than two businesses and expanding, he is athletic because his family could afford all the extra classes and he has been sheltered from all the financial stress and family stress that he was able to study well, got into good university, and the rest is history. I feel so so awful for feeling this way. He has never been mean to me and i know for sure he is humble enough to not rub that off in front of his friends (incl me) but i just cant shake this ugly feeling. A, i’m so sorry but i think i will stop coming to badminton games for awhile now. i’m so envious of you :(

fountain pens

its so fun. theres so many types. abundant cheap options to get into. i recommend looking at jet pens website for both articles and pens you can buy. its a topic with tons of history, but is still modern and active. i have a kaweco aluminum sport which is my favorite but i also love the lamy safaris. could go on for hours about this lovely invention

birthdays are hard

it’s such a awkward marker of a new year. a weird mix of wanting people to celebrate you, but feeling tired of the obligation to thank everyone that only reaches out once a year. i always find birthdays really hard, and fairly disappointing. my recommendation is to give yourself grace, and do what makes you happy. i know it’s such a generic rec but this past year on the actual day i just took it easy, treated myself to some takeout, and watched a show in bed. a few days after i got together with friends and we went to a restaurant i love but they’d never really wanted to go to. and then we ate homemade cake and watched a movie. sorry if this isn’t a very upbeat response (: <3 happy birthday!! and know random people on the internet are celebrating you (:
