I want to introduce wonderful Japan to the world.
We should call all countries what they call themselves. For example, Americans should call Germany “Deutschland”. Or Japan “Nihon”.
What Countries Call Themselves
- Italy: Italia
- Germany: Deutschland
- Japan: 日本 (Nihon)
- France: France (in a super cool accent)
- China: 中国 (Zhōngguó)
- England: The United Kingdom
- Russia: Россия (Rossiya)
- Canada: Canada
- America: THE GREATEST GODDAMNED COUNTRY IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD TASTE MY FREEDOM WHAT NOW ENGLAND IN YOUR FACE
It is quite hypocritical to ask for creativity at work when you’ve been taught conformity during your whole education
During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.
Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.
I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.
When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.
So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.
poor people deserve things they want, too. it is unfair to expect poor people to only buy things they “need”.
