untitled 3
03/08/24trying to make blogs more regularly. i've been decluttering a bunch of stuff on vinted lately and it feels really good. i'm finally getting rid of a load of plastic stuff i've accumulated over the years... i tried for so long to be one of those collector otaku types with piles and piles of figures, manga, etc. and i just simply am not. i was a shut-in, and i did used to watch a lot of anime, so it just seemed like i should be. no. i am in fact a minimalist, and i've felt utterly swamped by my posessions for so long. it's just like marina & the diamonds said.

the other day i met a woman who used to work as an actress, and then a casting director in france. she moved to ireland with her partner to raise their child. she told me she'd like to get back into acting once her kid turns 18 this year, even though she's be 49. i hope she succeeds. Marion, if you're reading this, i really do wish you the best of luck!
last night i talked to 2 tipsy customers at the end of the night, and they were really sweet. they told me i shouldn't get a 9-5 and that my goal of acting was cool. they seemed entirely sincere, and the whole thing was cute. i even got a hug, lol. their names were rachel + gareth
customer service jobs are better if you give people the benefit of the doubt. i think a lot of people struggle with the fact that everyone is in fact a human being, and not just an npc who exists in whatever specific context you met them in. sometimes people really are just assholes, but if you assume everybody is then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
