my interests were all over the place growing up and by college they continued to change - i studied sociology and gender studies (and loved it!)

First when I was about four I wanted to be a standup comedian, then I wanted to work with Greenpeace, then I wanted to be a novelist, then I wanted to be a Broadway star but I have literally no ability to dance, then I wanted to be a clinical psychologist.
by high school my grades were tanking because I was skipping school a lot and not turning in any work and I saw Cirque du Soleil Quidam and wanted to move to Montreal and be a circus clown despite having no athletic skill.
Then I wanted to be a hand model which is what I would tell my school guidance counselors when they would angrily ask what I was going to do with my life. Would have said a regular model but I’m short so I wanted to be realistic but now I am a hair model (not as a career) so that’s fun. I think I’ve made out pretty well for myself for a girl with no direction…

i remember being deeply obsessed with robots when i was 5/6 and i was like waiiitttt i could totally make robots… mainly cause i thought wait this is like toys but better…other transient profession ideas i had included working at the cash register (not just generally in a store but specifically that), hairdresser, “professional activist”, athlete (unspecified), a higher-up in an insurance company, screenwriter (included a detailed plan of moving to hollywood and establishing myself in the industry), theoretical physicist, perfume maker, and journalist. now im studying biomed 🫦. i only got interested in biology in 8th grade when we got a better teacher which just really goes to show how important good teachers are!!! i wanna get a phd in immunology or virology now 🤓

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
