Boobyisme - Booby Is Me

i think r/BenignExistence is my favorite subreddit 🥲 i love these pleasant little glimpses into strangers' lives

I just got news that I’m being promoted. My first promotion in my first ever job. Bittersweet to think that this the kind of milestones I’m going for now—I didn’t realize how fast the years are going by. 5 years ago, I was lost, scrambling for my college tuition, just trying to graduate and hopefully find a job. Now, I’m at that job I didn’t take long to land, seeing my hardwork come to fruition and getting recognized for it. I’m eternally grateful for my boss for seeing whatever he saw in me when he hired me, when I had absolutely no experience under my belt, and took a chance on me anyway. Getting promoted by him also means the world to me. He has shown me nothing but kindness and support, and I feel so so blessed. I know I did all the work that earned me this promotion but I have to recognize the first person who saw that potential.

More than anything else, I want to thank God. I want to thank Him for heeding all my prayers wheneverI called and cried for Him. I give all glory and honor to Him, for all of His provisions, for the gifts that helped me get this job all those years ago, and for the strength to power through everything else that came after. Thank you, God. Always. I can’t ask for anything more than for more holistic strength and brainpower to keep going. I have goals but not one greater than my ambition to keep serving You.

I love you, Lord. Let’s keep going.

one direction will always be so so so bittersweet to me like they were such a foundation of my teenage years while at the same time those boys were spending most of their days trapped in hotel rooms or waking up at 2 am to record an album and non stop touring and working so much more than anyone let alone a bunch of teenage boys should work and its always been hard to reconcile those two realities especially on a day like today because god when they were good together, they were so good together.

and i just don't think anything like them will ever happen again. 5 boys from basically working class backgrounds thrust into a level of fame the height of which hadn't been seen for decades, all of them becoming the breadwinners of their families before the age of 18. the immense pressure but also the amount of fun they were. the tragedy and joy of it all intertwined. really impossible to put into words

Early one direction was fantastic. NO stage presence. No dance moves. They’d just be up on stage like awkwardly bopping around and shoving each other and like fucking giving eachother smooches on the cheek. There was one show where Harry styles got pantsed during his solo??? They were the boyband that NEVER wanted to or intended to be in a boyband! They were totally in it for the fame and the money, but they became BROS !!!! They were FRIENDS!! And that’s the true beauty, the friends we made along the way!

Thank you, Lord! I am so rich ✨

Having a clean home, a warm bed, and a sense of security is truly the biggest blessing. That is enough to be content especially in the world we live in today. We are rich is ways we don’t realize.

What exactly am I supposed to do? Be horny and stupid for the rest of my life?

me to Lola because she hasn’t visited me in my dreams yet but I get reminded of her absence by literally everything, everywhere, every day. Classic Lola, always making sure I get a good night’s sleep 🌙
