Achievement unlocked: become someone’s arch nemesis
Mark the date as October 2024
A terrible habit i've picked up on is complementing advice.
I love advice, and when its good and relevant and in a format I can understand well, I genuinely appreciate and encourage it.
So in response, i'll be like, "that's a good one" or "ooh i wouldn't have thought of that", etc. and idk where the line when it starts to sound more condescending than grateful is???
It doesn't help that i have this tone of voice that i have been told multiple times sounds 'permanently sarcastic', which is a whole other can of worms...
I guess accepting advice this is just one of those skills i have to put conscious effort into improving whenever the opportunity arises, until one day it'll just become part of my good communication repertoire! Excited for that :)
OHMIGOD TURNS OUT IM NOT FUNNY IM JUST SASSY NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE
I saw one of these signs at the train station recently and my instinctual reaction to seeing 6101 was, 'niiice that type of aluminium makes great floor joists'.
Is this my life now?
overwhelmed with gratitude for existence. it is an unfathomable gift with nothing expected in return, and yet THIS VERY FACT that i am not required to give back makes me WANT to give back so much more
Humans are born wanderers. Don't tell me you don't wanna veer sharp left off this trail and get lost for 30 days. I fucking know you do, deep down. You love it.
