iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

me trying not to crash out because future me is already pissed at current me for enough things

000

i am holding it together with the structural integrity of a wet napkin

000

i would like to thank every Costco employee who has ever silently watched me make a terrible financial decision

adulthood is mostly asking yourself if you already did something and deciding you probably did

000

my current personality is just saying “well, that’s unfortunate” and moving on

my current life strategy is to keep doing things until one of them becomes a solution

uber: “you have a new rider.” driver: “pickup location?” uber: “tantalus at midnight.” driver: “pass.” uber: “she’s faceless.” driver *turns on dash cam* ”how much?”

every hotel room is just an escape room where the prize is figuring out how to turn on the lights

000

i’m beginning to suspect that i may have made things more complicated than necessary

000

just saw something and thought “huh” and that’s basically the whole story

000

life is short, but apparently emails are forever.

000

my brain loves bringing up information that has absolutely no relevance to the current situation…like it’s really hard to prove cannibalism

100

i have no idea what i’m doing, but i’ve been doing it confidently enough that nobody has intervened….yet

000

i respect turtles because they looked at the concept of urgency and decided absolutely not

010

every social interaction leaves me with enough material for a three-hour postgame analysis

000

i like succulents because they look like they have survived several things and are not interested in discussing them

000

i have several reusable water bottles because apparently my hydration strategy is collecting equipment

i have reached an age where my joints make philosophical arguments before i get out of bed.

000

i am once again asking everyone to stop expecting me to know what i’m doing

100

does anyone else get bizarrely excited about cleaning out a trash can or is my inner raccoon finally becoming impossible to suppress?

000

my problem is that i have the ambition of someone who has significantly more energy than i actually possess.

000

i don’t feel like i’m moving fast enough through life, but i also don’t know where i’m supposed to be going.

000

i’m trying to rewire years of “you suck at everything” into “you’re actually pretty capable,” and apparently my brain has classified confidence as a suspicious activity.

020

apparently my childhood defense against arrogance was to develop absolutely no confidence whatsoever. excellent long-term planning.

000

my therapist: “what are you good at?” me: “i’m not sure. let me consult the asian maternal committee that has been reviewing my performance since 1987.”

000

my mother trained me to have humility so effectively that now i have to actively remind myself that confidence is not arrogance

000

i’m trying to practice positive self-talk, but every time i tell myself “i’m really good at this,” my asian mother’s voice immediately goes, “oh, now you think you’re better than everyone?”

000

asian mothers: “you suck at everything. don’t get a big head.” me, 40 years later: “okay but what if we acknowledge one thing i did well so im not crying in the corner about how much i suck?” asian mom: “nahhhh that no good”

000

i know i packed it. i just don’t know where “it” is, and apparently that distinction matters.

000

bugs are essentially nature’s unsolicited notifications

000

i love people. individually. from a distance.

000

i am a firm believer in freedom of expression, particularly when expressing “absolutely not, i’m too tired.”

000

i have no idea what mood i’m in, but it appears to be expensive

021

if anyone needs me, I’ll be recovering emotionally with a bowl of egg drop soup and the dignity I have left

000

trying to convince myself it wasn’t that embarrassing while actively crying, which feels like a pretty strong counterargument immma go eat gecko poo, it’s become my comfort foo

000

today’s mood: easily inconvenienced, deeply committed to it
