dammit Facebook you know my sins
so for a long time (while I was not definitively in the camp of “people who are currently experiencing success”) I was like “oh hey I can brag about my progress on the internet!” it sort of went hand-in-hand with complaining about the shitty parts of life. par for the course.
and now I’m like… well shit, is all of this privilege? did I work for this or did I get lucky? do I get to talk about this or is it just bragging because of the resources I have access to?
it’s disorienting. I still feel like a millenial struggling with so many of the same things my generation struggles with, but then I have days like today and I’m like shit, I can’t talk about this “big adult moment” because I’m “successful” and therefore it’s just bragging and shoving my privilege down others’ throats.
(I may have talked about this before. it’s in my head on a regular basis. sigh.)
- Toodledo may be the best thing to ever happen to me

- how does this HAPPEN
- I used to read one at a time
- have I mentioned how excited I am about my new job
- I start a week from Thursday
- it’ll be GREAT
- and not this place
- where people get pissed over an iPad app to the point that they yell with truly cruel voices during meetings of 15+ people
- like seriously
- if anything in the world wanted to punch me in the face with a sign screaming “FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS”
- this place would be it
- I don’t know why I rant in lists
- it’s more fun this way
- very Tumblr of me
