I do not want to work

 I know the title sounds terrible, but that is how I feel. Of course I have to work to live, and I know I am incredibly privileged to be able to work. 

I just feel so lost when I think about the time I have to spend working and the things that I would actually enjoy that I could do instead. And I'll probably have to work until I'm like 70 which is about 50 years of work. When I get home I am exhausted. I do my laundry. I cook for myself. I take a shower, do my skincare routine. I have no energy for much else. I'm just reading "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" and there is this scene quite in the beginning of the book where Toru Okada makes himself spaghetti while reading a book and it's so simple but seems so chill. I crave this lifestyle. Having no pressure to do something great. Just existing and being. 

I know I sound lazy and demented but I genuinly am scared of being stuck in a job I hate. Day in and day out the same routine. Living on the weekends. Looking foreward to friday. My current situation isn't permanent and I'm quite glad about it. I'm afraid of a permanent "real" job. 

I'm probably going abroad or studying next year but I'll have to work eventually and I'm not looking foreward to it. I hope that will change. I hope I'll find my "dream job" or at least something I don't mind. Do people actually exist who love their jobs? My guess is yes, maybe not all the time but I also do not love my life most of the time so it's okay. I wish to be one of those people and I hope that when I read this blog post in ten years (or even five), I'll be happy

Thank you for reading this long text, hugs,

Pluto

on having a long term crush on someone

 I know I haven't posted in a long time but life has been stressful. I moved out, changed my workplace and have a totally different life now. It's overwealming. But this isn't what I wanted to talk about today, I wanted to talk about having a longterm crush on someone, in my case it has actually been four years (I know, I'm not proud of it tbh).  Recently I have been writing in my diary again after not doing so for months and I also read old entries from 2018 and it's basically me gushing about someone who I honestly still would totally date and have tried to forget but it is difficult. It's not even like I dated them and we broke up and I can't get over them. Nope, I was in the almost friends phase for a while with them and then Covid came along and with homeschooling the beginning friendship stopped. Honestly, I do think that it was my fault for being super intimidated by them and I probably was weird around them because I was nervous so I do not blame the...

how to deal with anxiety surrounding moving out

So as you might have guessed from the title I'm moving out very soon. I have only ever lived in one place and to now move somewhere a few hours away from home for a year is very anxiety enducing to me. I've compliled a list of things that help me deal with it, maybe it can help someone else who is in a similar situation deal with these things too Find out more about the town/city you'll live in One of the things that helped me the most was researching about the place that's soon going to be my home. With that I mean look at the town via google maps, find out as much via google as possible ... Maybe there is an interesting sounding coffee shop nearby that I would want to check out. Further, knowing practical things like how the public transport there works and where the bus/train stations are located give me security and I feel more prepared and not as lost.  Write a packing list This is pretty self explanitory but writing a list of the things you want/need to bring is i...

menstrual cups and feminism

I've started using a menstrual cup recently (yes I know that I am years late to the "trend") and naturally, before trying it, I watched a ton of YouTube videos prepare, see how it worked and how to use it. The openness in those videos was so refreshing and the people who talked about using a cup seemed so confident and comfortable in their bodies.It made me think about how little menstruation is talked about, even though about half the population menstruates, and how little I myself knew about my own body.  I think a big part of why cups were intimidating to me is because I was (and probably still am) not entierly comfortable with my body. There is a such stigma surounding mensturation and if cis men menstruated, the conversation would be totally different. The cup community felt like a safe space in a world full of euphamisms for the word "period" and blue liquids in advertisments. And no, I don't advocate for the buzzfeed-paint-with-used-tampons type of fe...
