I have a close friend who’s being forced to study economics even though she hates it in another high school. She’s so miserable she literally wants to k!ll herself , and for what? Just because her parents think it's a "smart" career choice? This happens all the time kids pushed into STEM or business fields they have zero passion for, just to meet their parents’ expectations.
the lesson is : Not everyone is meant to be an economist, doctor, or engineer. Killing creativity for the sake of a "stable job" only creates unhappy, burnt-out adults. A career without passion is just a slow death.
like Imagine ur dream is to become a lawyer or want to study criminology (that's my friend dream ) like fr imagine waking up every day dreading what you do, forcing yourself through a field and studying something you despise, just to end up in a job that drains the life out of you. That’s not success it’s suffering.People say, “You’ll thank us later.” No, she won’t. No one thanks their parents for making them miserable sorry . No one looks back and says, “Wow, I’m so glad I sacrificed my happiness for a degree I never wanted.”
But if she fails? If she breaks under the pressure? Then suddenly, it’s “Why didn’t you tell us you were struggling?” As if she didn’t. As if they didn’t hear her when she said she didn’t want this.
this is a reminder to choose what you love not WHAT OTHER LOVES even if it's parents/friends/ teachers ...

I did my laundry today 😊
Surprisingly made me feel good, consider this a thing to add to your to-do list if you haven't already.
Also I'm not privileged enough to have a washing machine at my disposal and I've got to wash everything by Hand for 2.5hrs, so saying laundry was a feel-good activity isn't a light praise.
However, I had some bad cramps, I've been cramping since last night and I think I'll get my period tomorrow and it might hurt so bad I will get hallucinations like last time (tmi I know, sorry)
Apart from laundry, I did breakfast today, ran some errands, and well, survived the day.
There is no WiFi rn, apparently all routers of the same network provider (which is basically half the country) are experiencing difficulties atm, hopefully they'll fix it tomorrow.
I've been binging Lucifer (Netflix) and mannnnnn, I love that series so much it might be my fav, it's so funny and silly and intriguing. I'm particularly drawn to Lucifer himself, the actor (Tom Ellis 😽🫶🏾) played the role so well I was annoyed yet pulled in by his arrogance and cocky manner. Well let's not even begin with his handsome face 😼🙂↕️ mmmhhmmm🫦 (sorry, guys that's the hormones speaking)
7/10 day, oki bye

Chill day ngl, made this yummy broccoli and carrot soup for my sick cousin and took a small boul of it and it was delishhh in the most simplest way
Mundane day I had, daydreaming about baking, oh yesterday went wrong so I'm glad I had nothing to even think about today lol
8/10, couldve done something more productive but come onnnnn, it's a Saturday. Maybe tomorrow I'll take out my nasty old braids ✌🏾.
OK so this was fun to read lol.
Now my turn—#angelaness is a play on my actual name, Angela, and the suffix -ness, which is used to turn adjectives into abstract nouns. Like how happy becomes happiness, y'know? So angela → angela-ness, meaning the quality or essence of being me. I came up with it when I was like 13, thinking I was sooo cool and clever lol. K-pop fans probs recognize this kinda thing from names like Namjooning or the more popular wonyoungism. But I swear I was first 😛/jk.
While wonyoungism is about channeling Wonyoung’s aesthetic and lifestyle, angelaness is more about embodying me. It’s not a trend or an aesthetic to copy, it’s the little universe I carry with me. My thoughts, my art, my feelings—it’s just the state of being Angel(a). You can be #angelaness too, but you can add your own flair and be #yournameness 💞.

No pressure <3
Tag your moots and ask them where they got the idea for their tumblr accounts name!
thank you @just-puddding for haunting me even on here.
i'm just a Mika Häkkinen fan and it's his nick name, I know technically it should be double n but I though this looks nicer so it stuck, also I suck at picking out user names so imagine my surprise when this wasn't taken.

Today was a 7/10 kind of day—pleasant, with moments of comfort and chaos all together.
The morning started off easy, though I felt a little achy. Still, nothing a good breakfast couldn’t fix. I made my uncle’s meal and treated myself to a sausage sandwich—sautéed sausage and veggies tucked between slices of bread, crisped to perfection in the sandwich maker. Paired with white coffee, it was divine. I might switch things up with pancakes the day after tomorrow.
Then came the mall run. I stocked up on fruits and juice boxes for my little cousin’s lunch, got bread for tomorrow’s breakfast, and picked up kale and spinach for dinner. The plan was to buy liver, but the supermarket had none—so I went with goat instead. A blessing in disguise, because the goat soup we made turned out amazing. Rich, hearty, with mixed greens on the side—chef’s kiss.
The afternoon took a turn. We left for my sister’s place, a trip that should’ve been 30–40 minutes but stretched into a nightmare of traffic. An hour and 35 minutes of constant stopping and starting left me car sick beyond belief. The nausea was unbearable, so I did the only reasonable thing—knocked out and slept through it.
Once we arrived, the visit was lovely. My uncle had his time with my sister before his travels, and we stayed until nightfall. The drive back? A blessing—30 minutes, no sickness, just a smooth ride home. A peaceful ending to a day that had its ups and downs.
hi lele!! Please provide me tips on how to get through a slump ✌️💕🙈
Hi lanny!! ofc!
So first off, to get out of a slump, it's important to acknowledge that it's a common experience that most people go through at some point in their lives. Feeling unmotivated, uninspired, or stuck can be difficult.
TAKE A BREAK: Allow yourself to take a step back and rest. Taking time off to relax and recharge is essential for your overall well being. Try to do some activities that bring you joy and help you de-stress.
START SETTING GOALS: By setting little goals at a time it makes your tasks less overwhelming and more manageable for you to complete. As you complete these smaller goals, you'll regain a sense of accomplishment and motivation. No matter how small the goal is, you're still making progress.
ENCOURAGEMENT: Try to find encouragement and motivation to do things like watch someone influential that brings you good vibes and positivity to get your stuff done.
SWITCH UP YOUR ROUTINE: This step really works for me when I'm in a slump, sometimes, a change in routine can help break the monotony and stimulate your mind. By introducing novelty into your routine, you may find yourself feeling more inspired and motivated.
SELF CARE: Another thing that works for me is having a moment (or a few moments) of self care, mentally and physically. Taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally is crucial when you're in a slump.
Getting out of a slump is a process, and it's okay to have ups and downs along the way. Focus on progress, not perfection. With time and effort, you'll find yourself gradually emerging from the slump and regaining your motivation and inspiration.
I hope you gain more motivation and get back on your it girl grind lanny 💝

Today's lunch was lentils and rice, made myself an avocado milkshake with my own twist. I added avocado, milk, sugar, coffee, crushed chia seeds, moringa power, and the most stupid but addictive addition was cerelac 😭
Did nothing much today except spend an hour cooking and looking at my wip art piece.
