today at the jewel osco parking lot 
a caucasian woman aged 25-30 was standing outside her white car, waiting for her mate, 6 foot tall bigger guy aged 25-30 who came zooming on his bike. and there was an interaction of them accusing this elderly asian man of grazing the side of their bumper
the elderly man “ no, no, no, I didn’t do this because there would also be a mark on my car from this scrape”
and the caucasian guy mocked his sentence and shouted loudly “no, no, no, you don’t know SH*T. This is a BRAND NEW f*cking car” 
and then I entered the grocery store
by the time I came out, there was a police car to sort out the issue, and my car was parked next to the caucasian duo
1. there was no way their car was new, as it had many other scrapes and a thick layer of dirt/dust
2. they’re really out here getting angry and falsely accusing a man of scraping their car?
3. there was a microaggression in mimicking the elderly asian man’s pattern of speech, disrespecting him in using foul language and saying he does not know anything
4. i walked past them to my car, and BOTH turned their heads away because they did not want to make eye contact with me, knowing FULL well I witnessed and heard their actions. 
whyyyyyyyyyyyyy do people like this exist?!?! whyyyyyyyyyyyy is this something that happens in america?? whyyyyyyy did those people think those words were ok for them to say?? like would that man speak to his parents like that?? would he speak to any other elder like that???
to top it all off, after going home and telling my mom, she said that this is normal and just how the world works, and we just have to not let it affect us (both of us have also experienced microaggressions and blatant racism)

ever just.. compare your university tuition with your friends that pay out-of-state tuition, and then you tell your dad you’re saving him money by staying in state (going to state school) 
and he says hahah but if you went to Northwestern (private in-state school) it would be worth it (paying more money)
~when he reassures its okay you’re going to avg state school, but then sometimes subtly jabs at the fact you’re not at the higher ranked school like NU

when I meet someone new, it’s like cooking food for someone. 
not sure what kind of tastes they like, how spicy is too spicy, what level of salt, etc, and trying to slowly find the balance of how many spices to put in before they don’t want to eat your cooking anymore
equivalent to how much of my crazy/emotional instability/insecurity/wild/puns can this person handle, at what rate, and to what extent

Today, I worked on a project with a peer. Surprisingly, he is this amazing and caring person that is so artsy and full of liveliness and free. Like, the conversation we had today was long and so awesome. He just said "I vibe with you" and I responded "You too." I think I am fucked. And at the same time, it kinda sucks bc I have to maintain a distance or I will grow to like like him, and that is just setting myself up for disappointment because out of all the girls that all like him, I am merely a piece of seaweed in the huge ocean.

Sometimes i wish i was that girl who is really pretty with the big eyes and full lips. The girl who naturally charms all the guys, so they're just lining up for her. The girl who every girl wishes to be or be friends with. So genuinely happy and cheerful, radiating sunlight in a dark room where there is none.
That girl is who i wish to be. Instead of the one too awkward for guys to like. Sits in a car and cries because she doesn't know how to talk to the guy she likes. Cries bc of she doesn't want to disappoint her parents. Someone without any confidence, and someone who not many people even notice.. that, is me. But i wish i could be more

One day, I just want to be genuinely happy. Like, able to accept myself and where I am in life, laugh as the wind blows thru my hair while I'm walking down a beach

I dont plan on going to the beach but I should post me in a bikini on insta with caption: this ain't a lolla pic, but I've got pretty much the same amount of clothing on- give or take a couple inches

So I'm Chinese and a white/caucasion person just thought I was my Korean friend who is paler, has longer hair, does not wear glasses, and has a different face shape than me. Please tell me how this is possible.

I wish I was tall. Tall people can slouch and still be tall. Short people like me slouch and just get shorter..

So here’s a question:
They dont want us to use plastic because it doesn’t decompose for a while and harms the animals
Thus, the only other option is paper.
BUT paper is made from trees, so you’re killing trees and decreasing the oxygen output as well as carbon dioxide input
Therefore, how are we supposed to save the environment when there is a lose-lose situation
