I’m back home.

Had to do a few stressful things today I had been putting off for this and that reason, but it feels good to finally have absolutely demolished that fuckass albatross around my amazingly shapely neck.

Additionally, I weighted myself right after eating lunch. 76 kg. This bodes very well for me. I don’t know how much I’ll lose overnight, but I know I’ll lose quite a bit. This is great because last time I was at 75.75 kg, which means I’ll clearly be way below that. Perchance 74? Not sure. 73?! No way right?! Maybe, we’ll see, I suppose. Excited. Regardless, I’m feeling good. I’m not satisfied with my physique, but I’m proud of what I’ve achieved.

My parents bought me a rice cooker for Christmas. I don’t want a rice cooker. I love my parents though… I’m trying to see the positives, y’know. I’m finding it hard to see the positives.

This is why I hate holidays, especially gift-giving holidays. And birthdays. I don’t want people to give me stuff, because 9 times out of 10, I don’t want their fucking garbage. At the same time, I get what they mean, I get they’re just trying to be nice, so I can’t be mad at them or something, that’s unreasonable. I just don’t want garbage, why would you give me garbage? I don’t want a fucking rice cooker. I thought about it, then I didn’t buy it. Why do you think I didn’t buy it? You know I have the money. It’s because I don’t fucking want it. So why would you buy it? I don’t want it, regardless of who buys it!

I don’t even have anywhere convenient to store it. I’m already stressing out about this and it’s not even December yet.

In the call, my parents were kinda pressing me about whether I wanted something. I used the rice cooker as an example of something that I was pondering, but then decided not to get because I don’t need it. Then they hit me with the “well, I already bought it” FUCKING WHYYYYYYYYYY!!? WHYYYYYYYYYYY!!?

Christmas, birthdays. I hate them.

Especially my birthday, actually. I hate it so much. What do you think I want to do on my birthday? The answer is relax and enjoy the day. Eat nice food, maybe read, watch my favourite show or something, listen to music. That’s what I want to do on my birthday. Not have to answer a bunch of calls and reply to a bunch of texts from people I don’t care about. Not receiving a bunch of trash I’m gonna throw away. I mean, I don’t even really like receiving things I don’t want to throw away, though at least then it feels a bit more justifiable. Like, my grandma just gives me money, which really I can’t be mad at. She knows where it’s at. It’s still a bit meh, why gift things at all, but sure. Other people though don’t have the decency to spare me the trouble of throwing their garbage in the garbage.

I’m annoyed.

    Gift giving is my most stressful of things I ever have to do. I wish it was abolished.

    So I hear you here. People want to give and I get that it’s just extremely stressful. I don’t want junk I have to deal with!

    I have yet to find a socially acceptable solution to this, and I’m not sure there even is one.

      Ask them to donate to a charity of your choice.
