on healing from burnout and wwoofing in japan
been rather down in dumps lately (mercury retrograde please be over) so i figured that i owe it on me to think about happier times is it just me running away from reality because being in singapore just makes me feel overwhelming anxious about life? my wwoof japan days were good for my body and soul but the realistic side of the singaporean me knows it's not feasible (for me) to be a full-time long-term wwoofer the low down in numbers the good

notes from a girlie with unhealed trauma
i'm just so tired (emotionally) this raya sick of the guilt from seeing people age and not spending time with them but i resent the enmeshment and want to be my own person sick of "putting family first" when i don't think it's selfish to put my needs first so bila mak you boleh expect menantu? what i wish to say: - what is this sudden switch-up in parents from no dating when you're a student cause you need to focus on school to when you gonna find someone and get married? - how am i supposed to go out and meet people if my grandmother and mother still treat me like a child, question my whereabouts, impose curfews and make noise when i come home late? - do you know how dysfunctional this family is? i have trauma and am broken i have no idea what a healthy relationship looks like. i don't want to have kids because i do not wish to pass down generational trauma. i don't want kids because the world is shit because of climate change and politics and - i don't want to have to get married just to move out of my parent's home. i don't want to go from my father's house to my husband's house. i want to figure out who i am, experience life and live life on my terms. - if someone is not going to value add to my life - i don't want them in it. what i actually say: i don't want to get married. so what work can you do with your degree? / what is your dream job? what i wish to say: - who says that what you study in uni = what you do as a job? my field of study was because of my interest and passion + i have many transferable skills. - is your company hiring? are you going to help me with my job search process if i tell you what kind of jobs i am looking for? - i don't know. - i have no dream job because i do not dream of labour!!! what i actually say: (nothing i act dumb) i dont know what i'm doing but i'm doing my best ok Labels: personal |
