so annoying that we come into existence with expectations like ohh you're a kid you have to study and get good grades etc and then when you're an adult you have to work and pay taxes and invest and all that shit like what the fuck. what the fuck. Why do I have to do this bullshit
this is like quasi buddhist but like so many pressures and constructs are man made like academics and consumerism and "family honour" like it's perfectly fine to like pretty things or have goals like a career or profession you want to do or accomplishments you have but so much
other shit is completely optional. We're all made of dirt and we just live here like every other human or every other living creature and we're insignificant in the scale of the universe like we can just chill, no one cares, we have limited time so make the most out of it
you don't have to have kids you don't need to top the class or climb the career ladder (unless if you want to) life is a sandbox game just have a good time and care for other people before we die

"Mama!" With large, shining round eyes and chubby cheeks, a five-year-old Jiang Cheng is unrestrained and full of wonder, looking at his mother and pointing at the First Young Master Lan next to Sect Leader Lan at the front of the arriving Gusu Lan delegation - "It's a fairy!"
Yu Ziyuan jerks to look at her son, before quickly snapping, "It's rude to point! And greet out guests properly!"

"But he's handsome like one!" Jiang Cheng pouts.

"Don't be rude!"

Eight-year-old Lan Xichen has a startled look on his face that soon morphs into a genuine smile-
at the innocent compliment he was just given. He salutes the little Young Master of Lotus Pier in return, eyes turning into crescents full of mirth as the younger boy stares at him in awe, like he's never seen anything so splendid.

xicheng, jc-centric, fem!jc modern AU + canon fix-it, transmigration(?)

Jiang Cheng's phone buzzes, and she looks away from her book - [The History of YunMeng Jiang - Destruction and Rebirth] to check her smartphone. The time of 2245 shines back with a message notification.
It's from Lan Huan, and she smiles. [I know it's late...] She unlocks her phone to see the entire message, [but I've just finished a chapter and I just can't think anymore! Want to get supper as a break from studying?]

Studying. Yes. She's supposed to be studying. Her eyes
flick over the business administration textbooks lying on her desk that she hasn't touched since semester lectures ended for the revision breaks before their exams - said exams less than a week away.

Yet here she is, indulging himself by reading about her favourite subject

dark!lxc, fem!jc, xicheng

Xichen has written proposals with the most luxurious of Gusu Lan stationery, in expensive pale blue ink of his best calligraphy. He's drawn up a list of betrothal gifts - priceless treasures filling an entire room. He's unwound his forehead ribbon for-
her, yet,

If she had turned red and snapped at him, pushing his ribbon-wrapped hand away instinctively, stammering words as evidence of how flustered she was, it would have hurt less.

Instead, she looked stricken, then tired as her eyelids drooped, purple eyes narrowing as
guilt overcame her automatic anger. "Lan Huan, I can't accept this." She said, solemn, firm and resentful,. "It's not like I -" She swallowed, and he saw the sincerity in her gaze, the regret, "-don't return your feelings." Her head flicked away, embarrassed and blushing

sigh

feeling shitty again from work and i'm gonna vent

like, again, thanks to my shit procrastination habits and lack of communication and exchanges over text message i once again feel like i fucked up

i was supposed to discuss with my coworker ahead of this meeting
god i am just so fucking bad at following instructions especially if they weren't written down to begin with. still suck at following written instructions and terrified of failure, thanks school

i mean i SAY that i want to be that kind of bitch who doesn't care about owning up
to my actions and making mistakes but that shit is still scary, ok, and i still feel afraid to do that and get scolded or mocked for asking stupid questions or making stupid comments, not to mention how it will colour the way my colleagues see me
