viewBeing sad and nostalgic is extremely easy when you have a sheltered life. Most songwriters stop being sad and become either obsessive or narcissistic after they become adults. It shows in their writings. But that applies to other people that are not songwriters as well.
viewTherapists often brag about how they are depressive, but their training only amplifies their narcissism.
People work in arts are way more depressive. Just because their jobs are where their sadness can be useful and make them popular among their peers.
Unfortunately most of those art people lack analytical minds to have realistic views of the world. And lack sadism to deal with difficult things. Which makes their misery relatable exactly by the length of a song. Because any more than that is incredibly unattractive.
viewI don't even hate the tariff thing because when people call “corporate greed” for outsourcing, I know they are lying to themselves about their own greed. And when they scream “uNionIzing”, they continue to lie about their love for productivity as well. So maybe sometimes things need to be artificially restricted just so people can behave better. I just don't want them to be poor because it benefits me better when they stay rich.
viewJust that people will make judgments, no matter how hard they try to be tactful or considerate. And I don't really care for approval or disapproval, even if they are friends or family. Not because I think I'm better, though I am too confident. And many times what I think turns out wrong. I still wouldn't do things differently. I don't think there is any safer way to do it.
viewI'm not that “close” to my best friends 1 and 2 either. I mean, yes, we hang out once every few years and we don't need to pretend we are better than reality with each other. But they don't know anything about my love life, barely know about my job, and not at all about my family. Which is why, at first, I was reluctant to keep the relationships going because they seemed to have normal friends who knew more and hung out more often and I didn't know where I stood. But they put up with my dysfunction till now, so I guess it's final. And they are fine with me not talking about things. I don't like pushy people who cheat their way through the trust process just to pry more information.
viewI'm having Mì Quảng for today's dinner. There is a place near my house that makes it very tasty.
viewAsian boys are very stupid.
They keep telling they like me, but to MY MOM! As a 27 year old!
And they expect I don't want to punch them!
It was already annoying when they did that at 5.
Unlike them, I don't outsource my problems to my parents. They often have no idea what I plan to do next, who I date, or person I love. Though sometimes I drop some information just to entertain, their inputs are unnecessary. I feel annoyed when they know too much.
viewMinions of teachers are the second worst. The worst are teachers.
viewSo then, there was this girl who was very good at math, kind of a teacher's pet, raised hand at every question and scored good grades on all exams. She kept bugging me about my name. Said I couldn't have that name, that was for a boy!
When people act like that, they definitely beg you to look down on them. Because that's the only reasonable reaction.
