Puzzle Pieces of Being

So during my commute to work the other day, I was sitting on the shuttle with my friend when a very nice Tesla pulled up in front of us.

My heart skipped a beat, and I pointed out the Tesla to my friend.

And then I said “are you single and ready to mingle because I am” and my friend was all “…are you saying that to the Tesla driver because he can’t hear you” and my shuttle driver turned around to judge me and I’m pretty sure like all 6 people on my shuttle at that time heard me and judged me

And now I have to move to a new city and start over with a new identity ;_;

Stubbing your toe on furniture is child’s play compared to getting your finger slammed by a door.

Dear friends, I have an issue. Lately my younger sister (she’s 9 and I’m 22) has been really angsty lately. For example, every time we try to make plans to go out as a family, she always complains about how far we’re gonna have to drive and about how she’s not gonna have any fun there and so on and so forth. We’re a Chinese family, but because of the huge age gap, I was raised more in my Chinese culture and she was raised more in the American culture. Every time she interrupts us at the dinner table (or during any convo), we remind her that it’s not polite to interrupt people. She then retorts with something along the lines of “but if I don’t interrupt, I will never get to speak and nobody listens to me anyways”. Additionally, she has very little respect for her elders. Imagine how my parents and their Chinese customs feel about this. Every time they ask her to do something and she doesn’t do it (she’s actually very lazy and disobedient), she defends her actions with “but nobody respects me, so why should I respect anyone else?” She’s 9, by the way. Let’s keep that age in mind. She’s heavily influenced by Minecraft and My Little Pony, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but remember the average crowd behind those areas of entertainment. My sister doesn’t really understand the difference between a parody and reality. So I guess what this really boils down to is how can I patiently come to terms with this? I’m sort of amused at how she’s questioning authority at such a young age but I’m also frightened by how much attention she demands. She doesn’t understand this because she’s so young, but our parents really aren’t the type to be super showy with their love and attention. Like it’s not Chinese culture to be very open with these things in a family. My main concern is what if in the long run this doesn’t change. What if this type of mindset and attitude sticks with her forever. It can’t be a bad thing if she was focused on changing the environment for the sake of everyone around her, but her focus is on changing the environment for the sake of directing all focus to her. I’m a terrible sister. I don’t know how to talk to her at all. She’s forcing everything to fit her needs. My family is going through tough times. I’m honestly also annoyed at how selfish she is even while we’re going through a financial crisis. What is this even.

What gets to me the hardest is that for me, Iwata represented the joy and the creativity of Nintendo. I loved seeing him smile and be excited on screen. I admired his hard work and dedication. But reality is harsh and cruel. Reality doesn’t discriminate or grant exceptions.

The fact that this joyful and kind figure passed away really opened my eyes to the brevity of life and the sudden yet final word from death. Nothing is excused from death.

I’m sorry if that was cliché. It’s just…I and none of us ever wanted Iwata to pass away. It just isn’t fair.

Iwata, you will be missed.

I went to two different malls today and I sort of expected both of them to only be blasting music from Splatoon???? Idk why. But anyways I was thoroughly disappointed when neither mall was playing Splatoon music. Why America why.

Come at me >:]
