Turning 27
some thoughts and feelings
Jun 12, 2026
Yes happy birthday to me. Santa turns 27 and I am feeling enraged max pro.
What a dreadful year to be a very very adult age of 27.
1. Really not enjoying hearing AI stuff. I love my job so much. I love
doing design. I love having the human eye that allows me to understand
what other human eyes look for when looking at things. I love having
experience in the world that allows me to know what people find enjoyable.
I love making people happy with making things that make their life easier.
I would do this for no other reason other than its so fun and its been a
hyperfixation against my will in the past decade to be obsessed with
computers. I hope I continue making things. Hopefully getting paid while
doing so.
2. I live in one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen in my life.
It truly is a pleasure to be in, its so big and pretty and beautiful trees
out here that attract the cutest lil birds. It's getting demolished and I
have to leave in 2 months. Finding this out on my birthday really does
hurt. This house has an avocado tree in its balcony for god's sake. I get
free fucking avocados here! Like what am I supposed to do. I am
heartbroken, I am sure I'll find a beautiful house and figure everything
out but my god I need to buy a fucking house. I can't be uprooting my life
all the time like this. I don't like change. And a big change like this is
gonna cost my nervous system. I really need to start sorting things and
making a plan.
3. Unemployment is busting my ass and I don't think I enjoy not making
money. Money allows me to indulge in hobbies. Bring joy to people and best
of all it allows me to dream. It allows someone like me who's only taken
flights 4 times in their life to think I could go to japan. It allows me
to think I can make a temperature tracker electronic keychain for shits
and giggles. It allows me to make my own decisions and not paralyzed by
the fear of what my parents think. It allows me to think I don't have to
pretend to be straight. This is enraging and hard
4. I think I'm depressed. My cake is not as enjoyable as it used to be.
Mood dip is very real.
5. I need a strategy to cope with summer sensory issues or it will be very
hard to convince my brain life is worth living next summer
6. I like adulthood, I would like to keep things that make me an adult ;
i.e independence to make my own decisions (like cutting my own hair a few
days ago) and stepping into a bathroom and knowing it will be dry every
single time because I live alone
7. Rewearing braces in adulthood made me realise how irrevocably cute I
am, even braces does not affect my cuteness. Made me realise when I wore
braces as a kid, I was still hella cute.
8. I like being on my own. I be doing things I be entertained I be making
myself happy 9. Next year, hope I do some math, cartography and playing
the piano.
Amen,
hope I make it to next year
PS : I'm kidding I know I will, nothing can take me down. I'm a rock, if
you hit me you'll be in pain. Santa out.
