Aristocratic Student

I am too young to say I have won the game of life. But I can tell you that in my old age, I will proclaim victory even if no moment of serendipity ever occurs again from today which I highly doubt.

You have got to believe that there is someone on your side. Like it can't just be me? I moved 5 times in my life and I have found profound luck. So intense, that I feel there is someone watching me keenly and sending me guardian angels (I don't mean to be spiritual) but that's the only way to describe it. Since this realization, I have acted like so. I look around because I know there is someone for me. Like people are so kind to me. It brings me to tears sometimes. It also helps that I smile all the time and I speak to both living and nonliving things hahaha.

Make sure to make people feel great to be associated with you. I have had people from all walks of life; old and young tell me they are grateful they met me. Why? I am kind. I treat people well, I make them feel special, I send them my banana bread, I write notes, I check in on them. You have to create your own village.

Be good at something. It doesn't matter what it is, make it part of your identity. I followed a recipe and make some of the best focaccia bread and people know me for my baking. I work a 9-5 mind you and everyone thinks I am just fun because I bring some kind of pastry. It even more endearing when I try something for the first time and it turns out bad and they tell me they'd try it anyway hahahaha.

Suck at something. No one wants a little miss perfect. I am sure you all have a flaw or some skill you just try so desperately to learn. Mine is Excel hahaha. I despise it, but for some reason, it has allowed me build camaraderie with some folks on my team. Because I always ask for help and end up conversing with them. People think i'm smart for doing that.
