I’ll definitely revisit this later and do some editing and figure out how I want to structure my posts, because my perfectionist brain is screaming at me to have some sense of structure and plot to this project, but honestly right now I am just enjoying ranting to the void about whatever comes into my very overfilled-with-useless-information brain

I’m now most likely going to go back to trawling linkedin for translation opportunities because apparently I am not a good person if I am not productive and contributing to capitalism in some way, shape or form. Fucking adulting. What a drag.

I want to work on creating a boundary where I can still get the work I need to do done, but also live my life outside of school

I also want to work on slowing down and truly living, meaning less phone screen time, taking my time with meals, and going to new places, trying new things. Another big goal of mine is, while still trying to maintain this slowing down, to continue content creation. It has fulfilled the artistic and extroverted side of me and brings me more joy than I thought it would originally. So, feel free to continue following along on my journey!

I want to cry but there’s no tears falling from my eyes

I’m not good at anything nor have any talent. However, I’m trying out new things recently and have even done such things that I never did in my whole life or if I ever did, it was only a few times. I’m actually doing it for me to figure out the things that I can do well or the things that I’m good at, as well as those that I’m capable of . The same thing that I’ve been doing for almost two years now. I’ve been trying to write stories and poems either in English or Filipino, depending on where I could work on it very well. Also, I tried to make a blog which I really want to, ever since when I was younger.

I really want to investigate this attitude more: the attitude that says moving into work beyond academia somehow represents “giving up” or “selling out”

I caught up with none other than Naomi Tyrrell… academic-turned-research-consultant, and creator of the Alt-Ac Careers UK Facebook group, who after more than 10 years working full-time in academia (including a 3.5 year Marie-Curie postdoc in Ireland, and a permanent lectureship in the UK between 2010-2016) decided to form an exit strategy.

I want to associate with people that live with purpose — that have passions and pursuits

What do you do for work? is one of the most common questions asked when meeting someone for the first time – whether that be at a networking event, a first date, or at a party. We then proceed to judge someone and categorize them based on our perceptions or preconceived notions of said career. I personally find this question a challenge to navigate. I do many things for work – some paid, some not paid – but one commonality across all of them is that I am none of them.

They actually listened to me and paid attention, and they said thank you

Care and feeding? Just remember we are people too, we work to pay our bills, just like you do, so yeah, we do deserve to be paid. And, like you, we don’t appreciate being put down, talked down to or even berated. Ninety nine percent of the time, agents don’t deserve that. Yep, there are some bad ones out there, and they’re the ones who get us all downgraded in peoples’ minds. Most of us, the vast majority, actually want to serve you well.
