Not to brag, but I’m really good at worrying, sleeping, busying myself with people who have little to no regard for me, ugly crying to Sarah McLaughlin pet commercials, online shopping, self-sabotage, and being at home. When I’m not at home, my life has a tendency of falling apart. In order to participate in society and interact with the natural public I need help from my pal Kenny and 818 #IYKYK. It’s not a problem, it’s a solution.
I can do some serious damage to my credit score online shopping, but when I go in an actual store it’s game over! I feel it’s my obligatory duty to purchase something, everywhere I go. Like it’s my fare upon entering to spend…a ticket of sorts. -And I get weird anxiety that if I leave a store empty handed, that the sales associates will think I’m stealing. -Is that weird? Normal?! LOL -Regardless you can imagine I’ve bought some really weird shit just to ease that unnecessary stress from my life.
I’ve adapted way too well at sheltering in place…
I went to a restaurant recently and I felt sorry for everyone involved. It was like I’ve spent my life locked in the basement and it was my first time in public (I mean it kinda was)… Ironically it was my waiters first time in public also. From an onlooker’s perspective you would think we were both fluently talking to each other in another language [that neither one of us knew]… like who knew I knew Mandarin? Without going into details, I nervously sweat through my outfit and my anxiety won yet again… -I ended up getting my food to-go… and enjoy my $40 entree (WTF did I even order? -I don’t know I just nervously kept adding more) in the safe space of my apt. I will be cancelling all upcoming plans in advance. I’m sorry and you’re welcome.
Shout out to my mom who took these pics. My very own Patrick Demarchelier. My mom is a Fbook queen and you can contact her there for all your portrait needs… She expensive, but she good. Love you Mom!
