when you thank someone at work for a favor you asked, and they hit you with an earnest "my pleasure" like damn you can't give me what I want AND be nice about it

really bummed out about the US turning into a third world country before I even had the chance to visit

do you ever just tell your ex you still value them as a person and in return they tear you to shreds so viciously you need to take a day off work to collect yourself? Jokes on you, I don't have the capacity for hate. Try harder next time :(

my new years resolution is to be bored more often. it's time I give myself more breaks and let the thoughts flow freely every once in a while. some people call it meditation.

getting older as a young millennial means waking up one day with a sudden newfound love for corduroys

I aspire to have my own goons one day. sometimes all you need to hear is a heavily accented "yes boss", and "I'll take care if it boss".

at least we've "got potential"

no, I don't wanna get high; I will raw dog this life until it kills me

I took an extra long vacation to relax this year, but I never can. I never feel at peace anymore, it's always something, and never a pattern to it. Nothing feels right, keeping busy tires me, trying to relax leaves me feeling guilty and anxious that I'm wasting time getting nothing in return.

some days I wonder why I'm even here, I think it's harder to find meaningful connections online than it used to be. I don't feel like I'm here to entertain, and I'm not here to consume either. I have nothing to prove, and I don't need a distraction - I just want to be validated I guess.

my group of friends are more fragmented and spread out than ever, and it feels like close the circle we once were no longer exists. call your friends this holiday season, tell them you love them.

I hope my 450+ politically active followers don't mind listening to my rambling. the number just keeps increasing, and that's kind of funny.

do you ever care about someone so much it physically hurts, it's crippling!! I don't understand how I'm supposed to be able to pocket those feelings and just go about my day. empathy is a knife sometimes. if only they weren't so far away.

Schrödinger's remote worker: in their unobserved state, they’re neither working nor not working.

have had to replace my left Airpod twice now, why is it always the left one

do you guys ever stop drinking out of a certain water bottles because it goes ...stale somehow. Like, it's clean and there is nothing wrong with it, but one day it feels off and you can't use it anymore. Tainted.

I live in a capital city, and I can't find any restaurant offering Crab Rangoon on delivery. What a sick joke.
