#happy birthday to me :)#not really planning on doing anything to celebrate lmao and yet birthday insomnia STILL snipes me right at 12 AM #stag #kitscribbles #I got me some tattoos!! They are so scrungly :3 #they are my 1/3 sonas from when i was a little child trying to pick apart my personality freudian-style #like legit i was shocked to learn about the id ego and superego. that was wild. for a moment i was scared i reincarnated from that guy #god i hope not. guy was interesting but crazy #these guys dont really represent that anyway. they're just me :) picked apart into 3 in various ways that i can represent with color #Now part of me forever uwu #i can barely afford them but life is for living and im doing pretty alright #anyways. 22!! only 4 more years before the military isnt looking to enlist me anymore #*raises a can of ourple fanta* to a long future enriched by the little things. And a few really big things #i think ill redraw them later with more careful details

me a week ago: i love my job!!

me now, after having a mid-year review that amounted to you’re doing an excellent job and you bring such a valuable perspective to our practice but i don’t have the ability to give you a raise right now but don’t worry bc i just hired a new CFO to try to figure out money so we can maybe give you a raise later this year: *breaks into a cold sweat as i crack open indeed dot com*

#like how have you hired FOUR new employees in the past year (two new providers a new admin assistant and now a CFO)#without having plans for people to level up?#also i have talked to a friend who got hired at a similar practice a few months after me and she’s already making way more than me!#and you know who else makes more than i do?#my 19yo nephew who didn’t even finish high school. to be fair he’s grinding way more than he should #but also so am i!!#my disabled ass is working 6-7 days/week almost every week and i can barely afford to LIVE in the city where i live!!!#anyway don’t mind me i’m only apartment hunting #while also knowing that my paycheck is about to be hundreds of dollars lighter every month bc my health insurance is about to kick in #right now it’s either looking like we are gonna have to live in the world’s shittiest apartment (not even in the nice part of the city) or #we might just have to find something outside the city. which would be farther from work and friends and everything #yes i am having a full mental breakdown every single day and it’s only gonna get worse bc i’m due to start pmsing any second now #and also my last day at my hospital job is this weekend #bc everyone (including my boss) has encouraged me to quit and focus on only the one job #so now that’s also at least a few hundred bucks more i won’t be making every month #godddddddd #i hate it here i hate it here #did you know? having a fulfilling job still sucks if you aren't fairly compensated???#this is also what happens when you are part of a hot girl profession where everyone else is married to husbands with tech jobs #so they don't have to worry about money like this #anyway anyway anyway #i have never had anxiety so high that i feel as if i might puke before and i used to have a panic disorder so this is a fun new experience #a nice cherry on top of the typical summer depression which is also beating my ass yet again!

looking at apartment prices and living expenses right now literally always makes me want to scream

#like ah yes i love that i get paid 16 dollars an hour and still can barely afford the cheapest apartments in the cheapest areas of my city #while also splitting with a roommate #fuck america #westy's shit

I feel like it really shouldn't be unreasonable for 2 professional workers in their late twenties to feel like they should be able to afford a 2-bedroom apartment

#my bf and I both make pretty ok salaries #but not like Tech Worker salaries #and we still can barely afford to rent a one-bedroom apartment #let alone attempt to buy anything #i literally just want room for my piano keyboard and my books??#i feel like that's not a lot to ask #most of my books are at my parents' house because we literally have nowhere to put them #literally don't know how anyone is expected to afford kids #to adults working full time can't afford an apartment big enough for children #bootlickers are always like 'just get housemates!'#but I feel like when you're almost 30 you shouldn't HAVE to

dude my mom doesn't even let me identify as a pacifist without debating me on it how tf am I supposed to come out as queer lol

#i'm posting this on here because this is where I have the least amount of irls following me LOL #and the irls I have on here are the sweetest sjdjjdjd 💕💕#but I need to vent like what do you MEAN I SHOULDN'T SAY I'M A PACIFIST BECAUSE “WHAT IF YOU HAD NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO HOLD A WEAPON”#LIKE #I feel like this goes under the same argument as “would you still refuse to eat if you were a vegan #and you've been STARVING for a month and the ONLY THING TO EAT WAS A STEAK??? WOULD YOU EAT IT THEN???“#like istg mother #if I somehow was in a life-or-death position where my only way of self defense or way to defend my loved ones #was to use a gun then I think I'd abandon a lot of the other morals and standards I have set for myself already eye-#AS LONG AS I HAVE THE CHOICE #I WOULD NEVER HOLD A REAL GUN OR FIREARM ???#I think wars and weapons and militairy are stupid af and think world leaders who use that sht are cowards and should learn how to use WORDS #which I KNOW is highly ironic considering what company I work for and don't think I don't cringe and feel bad every single time I remember #and I KNOW Sweden is one of the countries that produce the most weaponry etc in the world and I HATE IT #but alas #i do need a job #and I also can barely afford an apartment of my own much less move to another fkn COUNTRY #BUT WHAT DO YOU MEAN “NAH I DON'T THINK YOU'RE A PACIFIST?” 😭😭😭 BRO I NEARLY CRY JUST THINKING ABOUT MANDATORY MILITARY SERVICE #AND I NEVER EVEN HAD TO TRY OUT BCS I HAD THE OPTION TO JUST SAY “no thanks” ?!?!?!?#WHAT DO YOU MEAN

I've been getting a slew of videos recced to me about "not spending money for 30 days" from people who are so obviously well off and it just gives me the ick. Yes hyper-consumerism is something that people can easily fall into but I'd rather see content about buying food on a budget than a desperately privileged instagram girlies "giving up" money for a month.

These type of videos are giving me massive thrift haul vibes, which is a whole other beast in and of itself. But the idea acting like poor people to make it cute and consumable content just makes me want to barf.

#exe talkz #normal mode #consumerism #poverty #eat the rich #consumer culture #thrifting #haul culture #hyper consumerism #'I have to give up money so I can find myself' - girl you live in a cushy apartment in California and have everything you could ever need #I wish that was me but we can barely afford food for ourselves right now #Some of ya'll never lived off of $50 a month and it shows #If you want a good recc - atomicshrimp on youtube makes videos about meals on super small budgets

Good news: your girl got a call from her school today, passed all her exams and is getting her high school diploma this spring/summer, so yay.

I’m “only” 34 after all, but what the fuck. I did it.

#personal #none of my grades were too good apart from english #where i scored higher than in my own mother tongue ldkglgklg #but even that was good not excellent #anyway i passed and i'm getting out of there and onto new adventures (and challenges)#might post pictures later when i'm actually graduating heh #i also took another test today. for another school i applied to this spring #it was a remote test and the first test out of many i guess #and my god it was so fucking hard. i took ages to write it and i couldn't even properly finish it in time because i'm such a turtle #when it comes to writing anything kdkfkg #so it's probably littered with mistakes and sounds dumb as hell and i doubt i'm gonna pass it but anyway #at least i got accepted to that one school already if anything #it's just that. it wasn't my first choice so. i'm still trying D:#anyway i'm feeling hyper and shit and i can barely process this all #at least my stress from the last two days got relieved a little bit #because i apparently have to buy new tires and wheels to my car and i can't fucking afford it right now so heh #but anyway life finds a way i guess

#this is gonna sound so obnoxious but please stick with me here #it’s been interesting to see my bootstrap believing parents come to terms with the difference between my brother and I #I am so incredibly fortunate/privileged it’s kind of insane #my fiancé is an accountant with a generous family and I’m a lawyer #I think our life is like. the bare minimum of what every human should have just by virtue of being alive #we have decent housing and can afford groceries and modest vacations and have health insurance etc #my family is lower to true middle class depending on the year #and my brother is a broke single grad student in a creative field #but I’m the oldest so my parents will be like ‘well idk why his apartment is so expensive that seems like a poor choice’#and then I tell them what our rent is (and we got a deal because the previous tenants trashed the place)#and they’re like 👀👀👀 pardon #like yeah that’s the housing crisis. idk what to tell you. housing is too expensive #I can’t quite articulate the phenomenon but it’s like me being the prototype of ‘successful’#and then living a modest life fairly similar to my parents when they were my age and decidedly not lawyers is actually clicking for them #like maybe things are actually super broken. and poverty/financial stress has nothing to do with work ethic and everything to do with luck

Love getting lectured by my stepfather about the kitchen after I share some of what I was cooking with them. 😑

I already tend to avoid using the kitchen bc of how cluttered and messy Mom tends to leave it... and now I feel like I'm getting punished for offering y'all some of my cooking.

#groceries are fucking expensive and i was being nice #i cant wait for rent to drop enough that i can afford an apartment plus my car payments #like- i get that cleanliness is a sysphean task of constantly keeping up... but I can barely handley own mess sometimes #add in having a constantly full sink bc of my moms untreated ADHD and its suddenly much harder to just clean up after myself #im in my 30s with a full time accounting job - why tf can't i afford to live on my own with solo income in this area?#like- the moment I started making enough to actually think about living on my own #I was saddled with sudden car payments that take out about a third of my monthly income bc my old car died #AND down payment for that completely ruined what relocation savings I had #so we had to put our hunting for a studio job on hold... again #im just ... so tired #vessel talk

my best friend has been very distant w me lately and i asked today if she wanted to hang out and she said she probably couldn't bc it's her brothers birthday but she would let me know if she could and i have her location and i just looked and she's at her boyfriends house rn....

#we have it bc we're roomates so we started sharing locations when we first moved in like in case someone doesn't come home at night or smth #she recently told me that she wants to move out bc she has always wanted to live alone and she can finally afford it. and i asked her #directly like is there an issue because she is so non confrontational so she has never ever mentioned me doing anything that bothers her #and i said please tell me if there's something wrong because it would really suck if there was and i never got a chance to fix it because #you never told me. and she said no it has nothing to do with that i really just feel like it's time for me to live on my own. and a couple #days ago she was like okay i'm next in line for my apartment i'll probably move out in april. and i try to get her to hang out still and #she always has something else going on and i swear every night this week she's been at her boyfriends.#and if i see her around our apartment and try to make conversation at all she's so like short about it and barely responds like will only #give one word answers. i feel like it kind of started when i started dating e but i realized that i was spending less time with her and i #didn't want to be the girl that loses all my friends bc of a boyfriend so i started specifically reaching out to hang out with her and she #says no most of the time and never asks me. like i don't know what else i can do.#i'm like maybe it's bc of her boyfriend? bc they've been on again off again for a long time and previously when they were together it was #really distant with her like i barely saw her EVER. and they were mostly broken up for the past couple years and have been together i think #for a while again... but she knows i don't approve of that relationship and so she would like not say when they were talking again. so maybe #since lately they've been hanging out or dating or WHATEVER she doesn't fucking tell me what's going on with him. maybe that's why.#i literally like try to think of ways it could be my fault and maybe i'm being crazy but i cannot even think to blame myself for more than a #fleeting second bc i'm like. i have ASKED HER directly if there is an issue or something i do that bothers her and she says no. so even if #i'm somehow pissing her off would i ever know to change anything?? i just feel so frustrated bc it's like she's an entirely different person #to me. like this is not the person i know. and i don't know what else i could possibly do like i feel like we need to sit down and have a #conversation about it but what good does that do if she just acts like nothing is wrong. but i don't want to lose my friend i have such a #hard time making friends. i've known her since i was 14 like i can't imagine my life without her. we were the only two in our whole friend #group in high school to get out of the church i still love those other girls but we have so little in common now.

I'm so exhausted, my arm hurts, and I had to ask my neighbor to keep her TV down AGAIN because the people on the other end of the zoom complained again and this time it was a call with one of our clients and I could tell they were not happy. It's just...it's been a week y'all

#ive had too much of other people this week #can other people please just be quiet and not need anything from me for a while #please 😭#i hate living in an apartment but even if i could afford i house i know i wouldnt take care of it properly #i barely have the energy to keep my apartment livable much less properly clean #more space and home maintenance tasks on top of that id be in real fucking trouble

i have to do classwork (specifically a 6 page essay and a lab report) i have morning shift im so boned i hate the fucking expectation that everyone is put under that they have to constantly be working or theyre "useless to society" i hate the expectation that i can push out an essay as if my #disability that specifically makes it so that i just cant write or do work as fast as every body else that is documented in literal IEP form just doesnt exist i hate that even community colleges make you pay so much money for education @ ronald reagan suck my dick from the back

#personal #☹️ like my jobs fine my classes are fine im just overwhelmed and upset #i wish i made enough to buy a house instead of rent a small apartment that i can barely afford with roommates I WISH HOUSING WAS CHEAPER #i want space to myself i want time to myself i want education that doesnt punish me for being disabled i want a job that pays living wages #i want this for me my friends and everybody in the world im going to lose my minddddddd
