hate it when people can't understand the differences between the worlds we're currently living in.

an 18 y/o working 2 jobs for 17 hours straight who also studies and does personal projects would UNDERSTANDABLY have less time for other people. the guy has 7 hours for self-care and y'all expect to have at least 45 minutes of chatting about stuff that i can do over brunch or something during my off (which news flash, i don't have an off since as a high school grad i need to get my credentials as fast as possible to sustain myself and my fam) it's not that i don't care about all of you, i am tired too. i need to rest my mind to do my responsibilities well.

in the context of my job, i have people shouting at me almost every 20 mins. having someone else blabber about minor inconveniences (esp petty shit that u SHOULD be learning to outgrow and accept as part of growing up) is a waste of my time knowing u should know how to deal with that on your own.

i love the people around me, i really do. but believe me as an 18 y/o who has to be responsible for more than just myself, manage socializing and my studies (to get into uni) is really draining. it's not normal, but the circumstances i am in demand that i do so.

so please, to those peeps who have friends that work and study at the same time. just be more understanding that maybe their schedule won't operate like yours. maybe the 5 texts/replies they've sent were just what they can offer. maybe the 1 day in the month that you can have 2-hour conversations are all they have.

just, be more gentle. treat everyone with grace, okie?
