Word of the Day: 優等生
I accidentally drank too much last night and threw up in the shower ( I cleaned it up afterwards but..) It happened because I bought alcohol instead of weed because I didn't have enough for delivery ( your order has to equal 40+ dollars to enable delivery ) and it already got sort of late/passed the delivery window and I didn't want to walk to the store to buy some directly so I thought I could just do that. Big mistake.

Word of the Day: へとへと
I am in Japanese class and the Japanese teacher is scolding everyone about the test. I am correcting everyone's wrong answer they are blurting out while writing this so I am like, just not in the mood. I understand her frustration though, I mean I don't really get to practice Japanese anywhere except with Yukki san, but he is talking in a stream and it is just.. yea.

Word of the Day: おばさん
I don't really need to write anything but I think I want to just get used to sitting at the dining table again to work on homework. I need to work on the presentation tomorrow but I am trying to follow my todo list faithfully and it says that homework is up next.

Word of Day: 練習
Yea, I think I am sort of getting sick. I feel like jittery and my cheeks are hot. When I get home I need to sleep and drink some tea or something. I am not sure what I am doing but deep in my gut, I feel off for some reason, even past physical. I feel spiritually/mentally off right now. I don't know why. I hope I am not getting sick.

Word of the Day: 癌
This weekend I didn't get anything done unfortunately... I don't regret it though, it does kind of suck but... What happened was that Sebastian cancelled with me. We were planning on having fun together this weekend, I even bought some lingerie he liked and it was going to come some time in the afternoon.

Mastering Conflict with the Indirect Aggressor
Engaging in a debate or conflict with an individual who employs passive-aggressive tactics can be profoundly frustrating, often leaving you exhausted and questioning your own perceptions. Unlike overt aggression, which is direct and confrontational, passive-aggression is a subterranean form of hostility, marked by a resistance to demands for adequate performance in social or occupational situations, frequently alternating between obstructionism and deliberate inefficiency. It is a veiled attempt to exert control, punish, or express anger without the personal risk of open confrontation.

Why I Stopped Chasing Motivation (And What I Do Instead)
For most of my twenties, I chased motivation the way people chase quick success. I’d watch endless motivational videos, read self-improvement quotes, and tell myself that tomorrow I’d finally start being productive. Tomorrow, I’d wake up early, crush my goals, and live like the people in those inspiring montages. But tomorrow rarely came. And when it did, I felt the same lack of drive, the same resistance, the same craving for another dose of motivation to get going.

Word of the Day: 罪悪感
I think I passed my Japanese Quiz. I don't feel like bragging, I just feel like that is true. I don't feel good about it either though. I feel like I am cheating some how but, as I am explaining to my classmates completely more advanced words in Japanese, I just realized, I studied in advanced.

Unfiltered Confidence
Real self-esteem isn’t about being the loudest in the room or pretending to have it all together — it’s about truly accepting who you are, even on the days you don’t feel perfect. In a world where teens are constantly bombarded with images of “ideal” lives, bodies, and achievements, genuine self-worth has become harder to hold onto but more important than ever. Today’s teens face an intense pressure to measure up — to fit in, to look right, to achieve more — and without healthy self-esteem, that pressure can easily turn into self-doubt and anxiety. Teaching and nurturing real confidence isn’t just about making teens feel good; it’s about helping them build resilience, set boundaries, and grow into emotionally strong individuals who know their value beyond what others think.
