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.

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

Omg @Blackcloud what a rude person! Just reminded me of this lol

With the youtube stuff... I reckon it could be helpful to focus less on whether you're 'good at it' or not (because 1. we are always our own biggest critics and 2. we all improve with practice; sucking at something is the first step to being good at something!), and focus instead on whether you can find enjoyment in it!

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

@Jynx shows how uneducated/ignorant people like the guy from yesterday and the person that the OP on the tweet was talking about, like to be insensitive to what others are doing that they themselves would end up suffering in the future otherwise lol xD

and that’s very great advice regarding the YouTube stuff by the way, and you’re right - that’s why sometimes mistakes can be our best friend since we learn from it and helps us grow too 🙂

how are you today by the way?

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

Honestly whenever someone acts like that toward me these days @Blackcloud I tend to feel bad for them... like how unhappy are you that you have to try to drag other people down to your level? Yikes.

Precisely!! Mistakes, conflict, failures - these things that can be so heavy that we try to avoid at all costs are often the things that provide the most opportunities for growth!!

I'm not too shabby! Getting excited about going to see Wicked tomorrow night! What are you up to rest of your weekend?

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

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

@Jynx oh nice!! I've heard a lot about Wicked but I hope you'll enjoy the movie tomorrow!!

Not much really. Today I just went to get another laser treatment - it's my second (touch up) laser treatment, and my skin specialist asked me if I plan on doing any Black Friday shopping which I already did a few days ago anyway haha! Right now I'm looking at some k-beauty skincare products (and they're currently holding a Black Friday sale too) since they are cheaper compared to the topical probiotic skincare products that I've been buying on a monthly basis for over a year now lol - though those topical probiotic skincare products do help with those that have all types of sensitive skins.

Have you used any k-beauty skincare products? If yes, how do or did you find them?

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

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

@Blackcloud Nah I haven't, but I'm actually trying to find some good skincare stuff for sensitive skin!! So maybe we can compare notes?

I'm about to log off for tonight - but feel free to make a skincare thread if you like and tag me there? I imagine there'd be a few peeps who are interested!!

Otherwise I'll catch you next week! Toodles! 🤗💜

@tyme huh? What do you mean…?

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

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

LOL @Blackcloud

I was responded to a post further back. I meant, a job. Just keep looking, and would you parents help you find one?

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

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

@tyme @why would my parents help me find a job….when neither of them are even working either lmao

But I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned about wanting to look for a job or anything like that on that post though…

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

Re: What am I even doing with my life…

LOL @Blackcloud , okay, fair enough.

I think further up (a few pages back), we were talking about exploring social media to make money? And then I shared about those who are abused and paid hardly anything?

Anyway, all good.

Hope your day was okay today.
