ahhhhh congrats on 3.5k, you deserve it and sm more! and your account is literally one of the prettiest i’ve seen oml <3

people are particularly stupid today — idk if this has been done before but cym as your favourite tv shows, or your favourite quotes from tv shows, whichever one seems more fun

okay, so when I thought about tv show quotes all I could think about rn was ones from greys anatomy, so that's just what it's gonna be! quotes I remember from greys ♡

@ddejavvu - "but I love you. In a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me."

@midniteluv - "Oh screw beautiful! I’m brilliant! If you want to appease me, compliment my brain."

@deeplywornletters - "If I murdered someone, she’s the person I’d call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She’s my person."

@chvoswxtch - "This man is a whore, has always been a whore and will always probably be a whore."

@cosmal - "I have five rules. Memorize them."

@fleurfairie - "Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy. But he is not the sun - you are."

@fxllfaiiry - "[Burke] took something from me. He took little pieces, of me. Little pieces over time, so small I didn't even notice, you know? He wanted me to be something I wasn't, and I made myself into what he wanted. One day I was me, Cristina Yang, and then suddenly I was lying for him and jeopardizing my career and agreeing to be married and wearing a ring and being a bride. Until I was standing there in a wedding dress with no eyebrows and I wasn't Cristina Yang anymore. And even then I would have married him...I lost myself for a long time, and now that I'm finally me again, I can't...I love you more than I loved Burke...and that scares the crap out of me, because when you asked me to ignore Teddy's page, you took a piece of me. And I let you. And that will never happen again."

@fightingdragonswithwho - "I can do hot in my sleep. I look hot in scrubs. I'm a hot person."

@gaelic-symphony - "I am calling post-it, Zola, Bailey, the tumors on the wall, ferryboat scrub caps."

@sw34terw34ther - "Knowing is better than wondering. Waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying."

@oncasette - "Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here and don't give a damn about what anyone thinks."

@bruisedboys - "Shut up! Dance it out."

i wanted to say congrats on your new ipad!! that feeling of something entirely new that's entirely yours is incredible, and be proud of how much you've saved up!! enjoy it! <3

AHHH!!! Thanks Nonny!!!!!

Such a random and SUPER nice thing to say!! <3 I've saved up for about 3 years for it, in an account that was SPECIFICALLY for nice things, and to NOT be used for anything else like bills and stuff. Getting a slight pay increase on my work anniversary this year, finally, helped bring it up faster than anticipated. I also was setting aside money for a trip to Disney that now isn't happening until Florida gets their shit together, so I just took out the last chunk I needed for the iPad from that savings account. I believe everyone should have a "fun funds" account, whether it be for a dream vacation, something that will improve your life that's NOT a necessity... I think we all should have stuff like that, because at the end of the day, we all need a mental health escape.

I live alone, and all the money I have is ALL I have with no fall-backs like parents or family, so I'm constantly worried about job loss and not being able to survive. It really helped a LOT talking to a financial advisor earlier this year who helped me re-organize my finances, and then he showed me ALL the failsafes I already had in place if I lost my job. It really put my mind at ease, and it helped me turn my focus instead to re-allocating my paycheques to the various accounts we set up together. He was the one who set up my Fun Funds account and TOLD me to not use it for anything other than wants. I took that to heart.

I'm glad that my Dad instilled in me at a young age (at like, 12) of the importance of money management... and I would recommend EVERYONE talk to a financial advisor. It's free advice at your bank, and they can help you invest in GICs, stocks, and mutual funds that will grow over time, rather than just having your money not collecting interest in a chequing account, which is what I initially had.

I'm well off, all things considering. I've wanted the iPad for a very long time, and it became a necessity these past 2 years ever since my home laptop became a work computer, so I was no longer enjoying being on it at all hours of the day, and I was feeling like all I was doing was working.

I LOVE my iPad. I only use it for Procreate and reading right now, and it's... really helped, you know? I've refrained from installing ANYTHING work-related on it (like Slack, Zoom, and Monday.com) so that it STAYS a personal machine. Amazing how something so insignificant just... helped me improve my state of mind. Every day now, I take time out to do a bit of art, just so I can get off my computer. Still struggling, but the iPad really makes me feel a lot better.

Yeah, I essentially spent over 3K on a glorified graphics tablet, but honestly? No regrets. I'm hoping to do a lot more art now that it's here, and now that I feel like it's more natural to my skillset as a traditional artist.

Thanks for the love and support, Nonny!! <3 I've had people tell me I wasted my money, but honestly? I don't give a fuck. I gatekeep my own life, thanks LOL.
