Anyway I got notified that I'll be getting a nice $$ bonus from work today and I wish that I could celebrate with someone in a way that didn't just feel like obnoxious bragging. Like beyond the financial aspect, it's just nice to be recognized for good work and I actually feel... good?? about this job??
But it feels so silly to say I want to celebrate when I just got back from what felt like my first real vacation in a very long time and am doing cool comic con stuff this weekend and am scheduled for a new tattoo next weekend. I am already doing lots of things to try to make myself feel good! It feels selfish to want more!
But I guess even with all of that, there's just still a hunger for external validation from trusted sources. Will I ever grow out of wanting someone to be proud of me?

Playbill article on the devoted [redacted] fanbase just came out, and oh, I need to be a bitch for a moment here. Rushing a show 39 times (out of 68 performances) is unhinged behavior, but sure, good for you. So glad you have the time and money for that. I'm in a glass house what with how much I spend on theatre in a year.
I'm more fascinated about how someone who can afford to spend $35 x 39 ($1,365) and apparently doesn't have a job that would prevent them from being at a box office at 10 a.m. on a weekday, thinks they're doing anything to actually help a financially struggling show? This whole 30+ times fangroup did realize they were taking accessible tickets away from other people who might've come out liking it and recommending it to others, right? They did know that by not buying regular-priced tickets, they were not helping the show's dire financials, right? Did they want to help the show succeed, or did they just want bragging rights about who saw it the most?

Once again thinking about how my rent is gonna increase in the next month of a half (the beginning of next year approximately) and the new rent cost is simply not worth it for my place and thinking about how the new rent cost is how much it would cost for a decent one bedroom in one of the two major cities of PA where there's more job opportunities and just things to DO in general, but I'm too scared of change to actually go through with it...

i have to come to terms with the fact that I am actually well off for someone in this country now, like.. idk it's weird
i'm still living the exact same lifestyle that i was before, so for the most part it feels almost like nothing has changed, like maybe im spending a little bit more money on food and buying the "good" toilet paper, but all that does is allow me to actually have savings in my bank account
i still stand with the working class and impoverished people of this country, and I am very much still in the boat of "one [very] bad day from homelessness" so i am not taking this for granted whatsoever
i've just been watching some of those youtube channels where they interview random people all over the country and just like.. kinda show what their life is like and it's definitely putting mine in perspective
very very grateful for the opportunities i have had and very proud of myself for forcing myself to stay in college (even tho it took almost 10 years to finish and left me with a mountain of debt) and just like.. idk, i feel like i could be doing more to help people out, i can't wait til im out of debt ;o;
