Something’s not right

What am I even doing with my life…

What am I even doing with my life…

What the hell am I even doing with my life….

i honestly blame parasocial relationships and for getting myself into this kinda phase with this particular group that I’m currently a huge fan of and have been ‘obsessed’ & down-bad with since 2020. Cause now that their concert is next month which had already made me being desperate to book the concert tickets as well as booking the flight tickets to fly to the country to go see them at their concert (because for some reason their company never allows them to hold any concerts in Australia nor in any of the other Asian countries other than just in Japan and Korea) And I’m doing all this whilst I’m on the DSP with a valid reason as to why I’m unable to work.

I mean, before I moved out of home I’ve always been saving a ton of money on my bank account & im glad I still have that much amount sitting on my bank account. but ever since I’ve moved out, the fact that I now get $1.3K-1.4K per fortnight from Centrelink, having to pay $1000 worth of fortnightly rent as well as having to spend the remaining $300-400 dollars per fortnight on some things, and NOW spending whatever amount I get from that remaining 300-400 dollars I receive per fortnight PLUSspending more dollars from my other bank account that I initially saved a ton of money on (from my past DSP & other Centrelink payments before I moved out) just to afford for this upcoming holiday trip is (hence I’ve booked that holiday trip for a 2 week stay anyways cause I’ve been wanting to go to Korea so bad for the longest time)….yeah idk…

why am I even doing this to myself & I honestly regret getting into the parasocial relationship & down-bad phase back in 2020 that lead me on wanting to go & see them at a concert overseas as well as…what I’ve been doing & spending on as of last week and this week because of it….

i literally was going through the amount of pay in 4 instalments that I’ve just paid a few things in relation to my holiday trip with & considering what I’ve checked and have gone through… it is not looking quite good right now, especially considering how much I don’t even want to deduct more money from my other bank account that I initially saved a lot of money with/on (& that I still have).

Yeah, my mum was right when she told me that I need to save money which I absolutely already know and understand, and like…. IM TRYING!!!

And a majority of the amount I paid for through the pay in 4 instalments and all that has to do with:

  • in relation to this bilingual service based in Korea I’m using for them to guide me & assist me through the bookings in Korea and everything. Apparently the deposit you have to pay to access their service is around $360 something AUD
  • The SIM+Data thing I have to use in Korea
  • The concert tickets (both are around $136 AUD per ticket)
  • Travel insurance
  • Skybus

HELPPP 😭😭

Now that I think about it, idek if it’s really worth seeing them at a concert. Plus, I can imagine how it feels to be in a crowd with so many other fans around you especially when you don’t wish to be associated with them. Umm yeaaaa

what if I run away and hide instead… maybe that’ll be better than not running away and hide.

Do what you are comfy doing @Blackcloud . I was astounded to see the confidence these teens have built through technology.

@tyme @Jynx @rav3n

So this guy (seems like he was in his teens or early 20s??) had the audacity to say (even I heard it) “Well it’s gonna rain” sarcastically whilst walking past me as I was standing waiting for the green man to appear to cross the road. When I heard that comment, in my head I was like “did he seriously just say that to me just because I have an umbrella?” Mind you, the reason why I always carry an umbrella now especially when the Sun UV rays are high during the hot weather is to PROTECT my skin from sun exposure!! It’s called Sun Protection!!

Gosh these people obviously don’t know the proper concept of protecting yourself from the Sun as very much every single of the people I’ve come across with don’t even carry an umbrella with them to protect themselves, and then of course you have a least one person like that guy that would have the confidence to make that kind of sarcastic comment to a stranger.

I’m pissed off since he obviously doesn’t know the concept of UV/Sun Protection just because he saw someone was holding an umbrella (that was me) and thought he would just outright say that, obviously not knowing that I care about when people like him make sarcastic comments in general.

Why are some people so confident in saying something out loud to a stranger or even infront of them (if not towards) let alone saying something sarcastic…? literally not everyone takes that kind of thing lightly, and I’m one of them.

LOL @Blackcloud ... you're right. At the same time, meh? When his skin shrivels up 10 years earlier than it should, he'll take it back.

Good on your looking after your skin. I can't say I'm as good as you. I lack vitamin D severely so I get out in the sun when I can. I've got freckles too.

Take a breath my dear...

Put it this way, you'll probably never see that person again - hopefully.

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

@tyme Thank you, I appreciate it. ❤️ And that first comment is a good one 😌🤣👍

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

I do a lot of self-talk. When there are idiots on the road who are abusive, I tell myself that I'm never going to meet them again @Blackcloud

This helps me feel better.

So I guess it's about finding what works for you.

Hope you've had an okay day today otherwise 🙂

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

Hi @tyme im just replying to your comment from yesterday I hope you don’t mind 🙂

Yeah, with regards to making videos and then upload them on YouTube, and gaining subscribers etc.. unfortunately I’m that kind of person that usually gives up whenever something I am or might be passionate about doesn’t happen as expected within a certain period of time. I hate how you’d have to keep doing it in order to get the expected outcome that you were wanting to achieve/get at the beginning, that’s why I always have a fixed mindset & a pessimist since it’s so much easier to have than a growth mindset haha.

I don’t know how much I’ll need to get used to doing it as much as it’s something that I don’t wanna do but may or would need to do anyway..sucks.. 🥲

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

I guess we all have to start somewhere @Blackcloud .

Do what you think is right and good for you.

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

Hi @tyme @just thought I can also reply to this post that you wrote on the 20th Nov, when you talk about the ‘awful’ jobs that students have that don’t give them the expected pay they should be getting, are you talking about the customer service (like fast food, retail) type jobs? 🤔

In response to: Re: What am I even doing with my life…

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

Yes! Those jobs that pay $8 an hour off the books... I know the government is cracking down hard on these businesses, but I'm sure they still exist. @Blackcloud

What are you up to today?

In response to: Re: What am I even doing with my life…

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

There’s jobs that pays you $8 an hour actually exists?!? If that is, then that’s crazy… @tyme

I know that a lot of these customer service jobs are usually paid like around $20-30 something per hour but then the fortnightly pay that some or most of the employees get from that are like a few hundred dollars higher than the current amount I get….i guess the amount is not that big of a difference…right…? Even if it was a $500 difference..? Well I consider at least $500 to be quite a big difference lol

Not much. I went to get another laser treatment today as a touch-up this morning and I do plan on going to the gym this late afternoon then take a shower after that. And since this morning even while I was outside and whilst waiting to get my treatment at the clinic, I’ve been thinking a lot about….well it’s all the thoughts combined with the YouTube stuff that I was initially thinking about (I just think I’m not good enough to do something that involves something I can’t seem to get myself used to and that I could easily give up on), as well as what else I’m currently spending on that I might consider on stopping/cutting down etc…..so ye.
