What’s your name? Susana
How old are you? 17
What’s your current job? I’m still a student
What are you talented at? Do you want me to have an existential crisis??? lol i guess I’d say I’m good at reading my emotions and understanding how i feel and why i feel this way. I’m also pretty patient
What is a big goal you are working toward (or have already achieved)? My biggest goal this year was to dissociate my identity from my grades. I’ve had pretty good grades for most of my life and for a while i thought that was the only interesting thing about myself so whenever i got a grade that was slightly less than excellent i would get stressed and have an existential crisis™. I’ve always put an extreme amount of pressure on myself to have good grades and this year i just couldn’t take it anymore and had several emotional breakdowns™. Luckily I’ve been able to dissociate myself from my grades almost completely which fees SO GOOD, although i still have work to do before i feel completely at rest about my grades
What’s your aesthetic? Mmh i guess my aesthetic would be huge old libraries full of ancient yellowing leather bound books, gothic architecture, castles, impressionism, velvet, chokers, rich pigmented eyeshadow, freckles, patterned socks, pretty bouquets
Do you collect anything? Unnecessary amounts of trash on my desk and in my drawers. I also collect any signs of friendship. Like if a friend draws something silly and it makes me laugh i’ll keep it, i’ll keep tickets from a film that we went to see together and that sort of thing
What’s a topic you always talk about? for about a year i would never stop talking about harry potter. i’m also always down to talk about feminism and any type of social justice in general. i love talking about character and personality analysis, wether it’s of a real person or a fictional character.
What’s a pet peeve of yours? People who are unnecessarily RUDE like wtf, people who have bad table manners, people who LITTER don’t be a lil shit, people who are critical of other people’s hobbies and passions and make them feel ashamed for those ur literally the spawn of satan
Good advice to give? So this is basically the advice i would give based on my own experience, so it’s possible that someone else might disagree or not feel the same way. (btw i’m not saying this advice is easy to follow. i struggle with it myself)
don’t let your grades define you. you are so much more than just a stupid number. that number is not a reflection of your intelligence or your worth. you are so so much more and you are so capable of doing wonderful things.
set your own limits, you are the only person who will do it for you. if you let a person walk all over you, they will. not because they are a bad person, just because you let them. you are not a bad person for not letting people do whatever the hell they want with you. if you decide to say no to a person bc what they wanted you to do would hurt you, and the person gets mad and makes you feel guilty, that’s their fucking problem. they don’t have any right to make you feel guilty and they can get fucking get over it.
take some time for yourself. if being active and seeing people and talking to them makes you tired, reserve some time for yourself every day/week/month to just do whatever the hell you want and be alone and do nothing if you like. just chill
don’t ever let someone make you feel ashamed for liking the things you like
stop criticizing people based on their physical appearance. once you stop doing that, you won’t feel like everybody is doing the same to you and it will be so fucking liberating
this is gonna sound really cheesy but don’t make somebody a priority in ur life if ur just an option to them. just fucking don’t. they will know and they will take u for granted and you’ll just end up feeling sad and useless
be forgiving. don’t expect people to be 100% good or bad. people make mistakes. they will sometimes do things that will hurt you. that doesn’t necessarily make them a monster. it just makes them human. learn to accept this.
What are the songs you’d recommend? Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan, The times they are a-changin by Bob Dylan, Obsessions by Marina and the Diamonds, Happy by Marina and the Diamonds (yes i know it’s more than three)
So I know not many people will read this but it was still fun to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
