Have you ever looked at someone and for a second you can see your entire future with them with perfect clarity, see how your life would be different, see how they would devote themselves to you and how together you would prosper, but that surety only last for that one second because the minute they turn around and notice you watching all your self defense mechanisms start up and your walls reinforce themselves because you know undoubtedly the moment they speak with you you have to hold up your sheild or crumble like sandcastle in their wake and then just to make sure that they aren't searching for any faults, any weakness in your armor you look them in the eye and call them an investment because if that's all they are all you ever have to be is a stock broker and that's not so hard as being yourself

when someone tells me that capitalism has always existed, instead of assuming that they are deeply ignorant about economic systems, I choose to believe that they simply think that the company Fred Flintstone worked for was real & they are about to start telling me about the Rock Market

Hey Baba, it seems like you've been seeing a lot of yucky stuff online right now. A lot of people who aren't remembering their manners and are forgetting that there's people behind a screen. I know you like your screen time but please remember that the world isn't all like that okay? Some people are different online and forget their values and let's remember that these days, algorithms perpously show you things that'll make you upset. Yes, yes it's not very fair, is it sweetheart. Please remember to take some breaks and that the world isn't really like that. It's so important to protect yourself. Yes, silly even if you think you don't deserve it; because you do.

Me going into this weekend: Well, it's time for the local anime convention, the one that I've been preparing for since December and worked super hard so I'd have lots of mage plushies in the store I sell them at downtown, all ready for excited anime fans to buy them!
This weekend: Protesters gridlock downtown on Saturday (aka, the Busy Day, aka the Profitable Day) because they can't handle the concept of a drag queen doing story time for kids at the library, someone escalates this to a very effective bomb threat that's fortunately fake but still forces local shops to close and the reading to be cancelled for the sake of safety, it pours rain, and is the coldest weekend we've had all month to boot. All the shops and the downtown farmer's market that brought in extra stock and produce in preparation for what is traditionally a very profitable weekend for local businesses due to exploring convention members are left in the lurch.
Me, now: (lying in my bed trying to console myself with humour) ...this did not go according to keikaku.*
*keikaku means plan
