i lost this bag while visiting a giveaway (i dropped it thinking it was a different bag) and i’m honestly lowkey heartbroken, i loved this bag lol if anyone has it and would like to trade let me know!! i have lots of materials and bells, and fruits and veggies : >
idk if its just me but I have always felt so weird about social media and instagram is definitely on the weirder side in terms of energy. I always felt so incredibly anxious when i opened the app and started scrolling, or even whenever i posted something. granted i was using it as a way to share my art and music and to hopefully connect with other creatives, but after a year of this journey i’m left feeling completely burnt out.
the thought of being perceived always stressed me out an everything always felt like a performance or curated version of myself to try to appeal to the algorithm and acquaintances /followers. i would constantly wonder what people thought about me and started to tie my worth to the number of likes and followers i had. no matter how many times i’d try to tell myself the numbers don’t matter, the way the app functions makes it incredibly difficult not to compare yourself.
i started to lose touch with myself and my art. the connections i’ve made in my creative communities also felt so superficial, and im not sure if it’s because of my neurodivergent brain that makes it difficult to decipher or understand social cues, structures, and expectations, but it always confused the hell out of me when people who claimed to be my friend would ignore my attempts to hang out or have an actual engaging conversation with them for weeks, but would still view my stories and actively ignore my posts about my new music.
i’m not entitled to anyone’s validation or attention, but what the hell? it makes me wonder what is the point of this game? are we “friends” or not? where is the support? it always felt unreciprocated, especially because i always tried to support my mutuals as much as possible.
social media feels more like social hierarchies and competitions than it feels like a place to actually connect with the community. I’m genuinely sick of it, sick of giving so many people access to me and sick of playing these games. i really caved into the pressure that as a musician i *had* to build a social media presence or else my art had no chance to succeed. but I’m choosing to believe that i don’t have to participate in anything that doesn’t align with me for the sake of external expectations. all i have to do is stay true to myself. i think i’m starting to really value my solitude, peace, and privacy, and i don’t think i’m ever going back.
i guess i just had to vent lol. does anyone else feel this way?
just started working on my plaza today! it is my first day of really actually decorating in my island. my goal is to achieve a pastel/kidcore themed island and for the plaza, i’m envisioning a 2 story shopping district center (rough map on 4th slide). besides the plaza i want to build a music center with instruments that can be played or some kind of concert area. i want the able sisters and nooks cranny in the second floor and i want to create a third floor with more shopping / spaces for my villagers to lounge or explore. i have an idea to create a bakery and some other kind if third space, not sure exactly what yet. maybe another restaurant? i also want to incorporate some waterfalls as well
what do you think of my layout? i’m open to any tips/tricks/advice or suggestions.
also, if anyone has any related custom codes for pathing/roads or in general, please let me know!!
thanks in advance : )
i got my job offer yesterday and the manager told me my official start date, but i’m trying to see how i should approach leaving my current job; i want to make sure this job at sbux is secured/officially documented before making any impulsive decisions with my current job… i really want to quit asap lol
i’m obsessed with her, her colors are so cute and i’m obsessed with the keychain cage clip it’s such a cute way to display them on your bags 🥰🩵 i need more of these clips🥲

i can’t stand when people counter on items that are already dirt cheap like are we really bargaining over 40 cents right now? the second slide the item is $2.55 i’m not sure why it says $3 but its like really? i’m trying to get rid of these items but i’m also trying to at least make somewhat of a profit not lose money by selling it to you . considering raising all my prices after this tbh
am i the only one who feels like these are the same song in different universes? like sonically wise, they are both very unique in sound imo, what do you guys think?
hi everyone I just had an interview and the manager told me i should here back on wednesday. it’s thursday now and i haven’t received any follow up/next steps. i know things can get really busy. i don’t want to seem desperate or pushy. should i reach out or just wait it out? thanks!
the hoop ones
they always tell me they love my energy and believe in my potential but then either ghost me or reject me. twice now i’ve been asked to come in for 2 rounds of interviews, which gets my hopes up only to be let down. i know the job market sucks for everyone right now. it’s super draining and discouraging. is it something about me? does my chart say anything about this?
just had an interview today and if it goes well i’m leaving my current job. there’s been a lot of drama lately and managers are trippin… hoping this will be a good decision and move for me at the moment. also doing a volunteer thing on the side that will hopefully evolve into a paid position. doing all this while trying to focus on creative ventures and starting up a small business for myself.
does my chart have any insight on this ? thanks in advance!
I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about working at Starbucks and I was curious about everyone’s experience. Is there anyone that genuinely loves or at least can somewhat tolerate working at Starbucks without burning out? Is this the worst or best job you’ve had? Are you actively trying to escape and if so, why? what is your favorite/least favorite part of the job? what is your biggest pet peeve? were you trained well? Do you get along with your coworkers? what’s the culture/environment like?
i have an interview coming up and i’ve been pretty excited. but also nervous about leaving my current job and regretting it (i work BOH at a local cafe). i don’t mind the job it’s very easy work just a bit annoying when being nitpicked, and isolating at tines during night shifts. i always watch the baristas up front and sometimes wish i could work up front to make drinks, it’s something i always kinda envisioned myself doing, I’m very crafty and i like the idea of crafting drinks. Plus my managers have been kinda trippin lately lol. i do like the idea of a change if pace and something new and fresh. Starbucks also pays a little more and offers to pay for schooling which i’ve been lightly considering.
i’m curious to hear, why do you work at starbucks?
is this normal? seems kinda suspicious idk
this clip always made me uncomfortable
trying to buy a few face products but each time i hit checkout it takes me to this weird error page message on my phone. tried on my laptop and same thing, it just keeps loading forever and pops up a window for my downloads saying i downloaded something called “place-order.” its so weird i dont really understand why this is happening. and i had to cancel the first time because i forgot to hit free shipping, even though the first time the order went through fine. but now that i’m selecting free shipping its not working?
