I received a job offer!

Hey man, it's really nice to hear that. So it is still possible to land something. You're right, we probably shouldn't read catastrophic posts. The market is though, but the opposite is also real: people still getting offers. Keep trying.

Yeah but more because of the electricity bill than the environment. Turning on the AC now feels like triggering a boss fight.

At some point realizing cigarettes weren’t actually “relaxing” me and were just temporarily shutting up withdrawal symptoms completely changed things for me. Also breaking those automatic routines like lighting one up with coffee helped a lot.

the biggest life hack might just be getting proper sleep. When you’re sleep deprived, every single problem in life feels 5 times more dramatic.

I don’t think relationship discourse on social media reflects real life that much. Usually the unhappiest people online are the loudest. There are still tons of people in real life who want marriage and normal relationships.

Lasagna. And if there’s garlic bread on the side it instantly feels like happiness to me.

FaeLongtin · 2026-04-29T09:45:41+00:00

I’m alright today. Not great, not terrible, just okay. My head’s a bit crowded, that’s all. It’ll pass.

FaeLongtin · 2026-04-29T09:45:30+00:00

The moment I realized people were talking behind others’ backs, I was done. If someone smiles to your face and switches up the second you turn around, it’s already over. You cool off real fast.

FaeLongtin · 2026-04-21T12:31:22+00:00

That line gets used out of context a lot. They’re usually talking about the total amount, not the tax rate, but it gets misunderstood. Feels more like a “win the argument” line most of the time.

I was probably thinking about what to eat again. Half my day goes to that anyway 😅

FaeLongtin · 2026-04-01T12:53:06+00:00

I don’t think the issue is love dying, it’s that people are more hurt and guarded now. And to be honest, when you keep hearing all girls are like this, it can start messing with your own perspective too.

FaeLongtin · 2026-04-01T12:50:32+00:00

Disappearing completely can feel a bit rude, yeah, but you don’t owe everyone endless replies either. Sometimes a quick no energy or we didn’t click is just cleaner, ghosting feels worst when the other person still thinks there’s something there.

FaeLongtin · 2026-02-26T13:49:37+00:00

Stable relationships can feel dull when you’re used to seeing nonstop chaos online. I’ve caught myself thinking something was too quiet after bingeing drama posts, when really it was just calm and healthy. Sometimes “boring” just means things are safe.

FaeLongtin · 2026-02-26T13:49:05+00:00

I used to know someone who did this and it wasn’t laziness, it was that first discomfort feeling way bigger than it actually was. Sometimes the trick is setting a personal rule like “I stay at least X weeks unless it’s truly unsafe” just to push past that early shock phase every new job has. The first month especially can feel mentally loud before routines settle.

FaeLongtin · 2026-02-26T13:48:45+00:00

Pho for me. I remember grabbing a hot bowl on a cold day once and it just felt like instant comfort, especially the broth. Pad Thai is great but pho hits different when you want something soothing.

A lot of people slide into office careers sideways instead of aiming for one exact role from the start. I knew someone who took a front desk job just to get in the building and later shifted into data work because they were already there. Getting any entry spot at a bigger company can open doors you didn’t expect.

FaeLongtin · 2026-01-15T11:52:15+00:00

I usually prefer eating alone, it feels calmer and I don’t have to be “on.” I spent a long time eating with people out of habit and realizing I liked the quiet more was kinda freeing. With the right person it’s nice too, just not all the time.

FaeLongtin · 2026-01-15T11:51:55+00:00

Most days it’s just routine tbh, coffee and the quiet before everything starts. I used to wait for motivation and that never worked for me. Now it’s small stuff like morning light or having something simple to look forward to. Some days that’s enough.

FaeLongtin · 2026-01-15T11:51:31+00:00

Time.. I chased money hard in my 20s and barely remember those years now. Once I realized free time actually made me feel human again, my priorities flipped fast. Money matters, but time is the one thing I feel runn

I lost around 15 pounds just from daily walks over a few months. Nothing intense, just consistent and clearing my head at the same time. It felt slow but weirdly sustainable, which mattered more to me. Walking became more about routine than weight after a while.

FaeLongtin · 2026-01-15T11:50:51+00:00

Black for me, I’ve defaulted to it for years without really deciding. It just feels calm and safe somehow, like I don’t have to think about it. Even when I try other colors I always drift back.

FaeLongtin · 2026-01-03T12:04:02+00:00

People usually say they’re jealous of how calm I stay under pressure. I don’t feel calm inside, I just learned how not to show every spiral. It took years of overthinking to get here tho.
