hate it when people can't understand the differences between the worlds we're currently living in.

an 18 y/o working 2 jobs for 17 hours straight who also studies and does personal projects would UNDERSTANDABLY have less time for other people. the guy has 7 hours for self-care and y'all expect to have at least 45 minutes of chatting about stuff that i can do over brunch or something during my off (which news flash, i don't have an off since as a high school grad i need to get my credentials as fast as possible to sustain myself and my fam) it's not that i don't care about all of you, i am tired too. i need to rest my mind to do my responsibilities well.

in the context of my job, i have people shouting at me almost every 20 mins. having someone else blabber about minor inconveniences (esp petty shit that u SHOULD be learning to outgrow and accept as part of growing up) is a waste of my time knowing u should know how to deal with that on your own.

i love the people around me, i really do. but believe me as an 18 y/o who has to be responsible for more than just myself, manage socializing and my studies (to get into uni) is really draining. it's not normal, but the circumstances i am in demand that i do so.

so please, to those peeps who have friends that work and study at the same time. just be more understanding that maybe their schedule won't operate like yours. maybe the 5 texts/replies they've sent were just what they can offer. maybe the 1 day in the month that you can have 2-hour conversations are all they have.

just, be more gentle. treat everyone with grace, okie?

"... “I’m Taking Action Because I Feel Desperate,” Said U.S. Climate Scientist Peter Kalmus, Who

Truthout

1,000+ Scientists Worldwide Engaged in Civil Disobedience for Climate Action

Scientists chained themselves to the White House fence, blocked bridges and occupied buildings. Dozens were arrested.

"... “I’m taking action because I feel desperate,” said U.S. climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who along with several others locked himself to the front door of a JPMorgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A recent report found that the financial giant is the biggest private funder of oil and gas initiatives in the world.

“It’s the 11th hour in terms of Earth breakdown, and I feel terrified for my kids, and terrified for humanity,” Kalmus continued. “World leaders are still expanding the fossil fuel industry as fast as they can, but this is insane. The science clearly indicates that everything we hold dear is at risk, including even civilization itself and the wonderful, beautiful, cosmically precious life on this planet. I actually don’t get how any scientist who understands this could possibly stay on the sidelines at this point.” ..."

Who are you choosing to be today? Not who are you..Not what is hurting you..Not what shit are you carrying with you this week..The most important question to ask yourself is who are you choosing to be? Whatever shit you are carrying over from last week, take a deep breath, and just know that shift start with making a simple choice of focusing on who you want to be. If that anxious knot in your stomach is getting worse with each moment, remember who are you choosing to be? Someone who is patient and loving with yourself? Someone who focuses on your healing and makes time to figure out your needs? Someone who is kind and caring with yourself first and foremost? Without thinking it’s easy to slip into victim, judgment, anger, and while all these emotions at times may be valid there is only so much living in the lower vibrations we can do before it really starts taking a toll. So allow yourself some grace, and start with the simple question of who am I choosing to be?
