Everyone assumes I'm much younger than I am, so what do I do when I find someone's treating me like a teenager? I lie & tell them I'm 10 years older than I actually am or sometimes that I have a son named Carlitos- this one I use ONLY when the other person starts talking about their own kids- to relate to them ya know? The look on their faces is worth the sin I'm committing & it often earns me respect in an otherwise uncomfy situation.

I am short and generally bubbly, so people always assume that I am younger than my actual age (which is wild to me). One time a few years ago, someone came to my door and asked me if my parents were home…my tattoos were highly visible… I said no and wasn’t lying 🤷♀️
When my son was first born, I had to bring something to my husband’s work, and the dad of a client asked who the teenage mother was (It was me, I was 31 lol).
Personality things, I don’t know. I’ll have to ask some people and get back to you!

Working in retail and coming up with harmless but insane fabrications about myself to tell customers is the highlight of any shift. “Yes I am an up and coming race car driver” or ”actually yeah I ran a marathon just the other day” or “I used to be married in a past life”. Literally nonsense that has no impact but feels so fun for some reason. Big fan!
Cheers

I'm 23 and teach undergrads. It's bound to happen, I know. I used to feel some type of way about it, but now I don't really mind. My students are really cool.

Ever since I quit nicotine I don't deprive myself of a cigarette when I feel like I really need it. So it hits different, because when my emotional state is low all it takes is a cig break to feel like I'm confronting whatever it is that's weighing me down. This system is fool-proof. Sometimes I think I'm low enough for a cigarette then decide I'm not quite sad enough. So when I do smoke it's because I'm crying & absolutely losing it. Because my smoke breaks are spontaneous, I can't quite plan for them, leading to unfinished packs & a plethora of lighters. Funny enough, each lighter coincides with whatever was making me feel awful that day making it a journal of sorts for my feelings. My fav is the "take me with you" lighter because well.. I really related to that when I bought it. There's also something really protagonist-y about walking into a gas station, eyes puffy & tears streaming down your face & asking for a pack of camel menthols ... oh & a swag lighter.

You really get to feel every feeling possible for a human to feel with this activity- Suspense, excitement, regret (from being a shopaholic), impatience, frustration (when the package suddenly stops tracking) and MORE! Every morning you get to wake up & check the tracker, offering a similar feeling to waiting to get a text from a crush- except it's a message from USPS giving you an update on your package. Wow. There's so many emotions, so many feelings. Then you get to wait for the USPS truck, looking out the window at all the cars rushing by wondering, "Is my package in that vehicle?". I live SO close to my post office so I am in suspense all day as there's hundreds of USPS trucks that drive by & it's such a rush! Then you get to do it all over again when you order something else. I'm currently tracking only one thing (trying to be good this month).

When I find one I immediately put it into a small mason jar where I also keep clumps of her fur that fall off when she scratches herself & whatever else I find that once belonged to her. When the day comes & we can clone cats, I will be so thankful for this collection because I truly can't live without my kitty.
