Hey Jessi~

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble moving D: It's terrible to be living somewhere that you hate >x<;;;

We may not be able to help but feel free to vent here if you'd like!

Oh no D:

If I learned anything from renting places, it's to never settle for cheap. I had lived in a crappy basement suite for years and told myself it was worth it because of the cheap rent. But honestly, it took a big toll on my health D:

I have a friend who is in a living situation where her apartment is on the pricier side, so she's to an extent living "paycheck to paycheck". However, her living quality is amazing and she's enjoying life greatly! I love her apartment so much I crash there whenever I can too

So don't let anyone tell you to settle! If we don't push ourselves to move forward and up we won't get to improve our lives

ME (and my mom) right there.......8U like srs, what IS that weird abstract shape???? XD that's how simplified chinese looks to us. 8U

It's because the way the simplified process worked, it mostly took particles and reduced them down?

Like one of the characters for "language", the particle on the left is different:
Simplified: 语
Traditional: 語

When we learned the particle in simplified, we got taught it was the 言 particle. So reading traditional just feels like "oh that's the expanded/complicated way of writing the character". But going from traditional there isn't that recognition /DD;;;;

Yeah there really isn’t. 8U like if I had learned simplified, maybe I’d be able to see how traditional works. But the other way around? Not so much. XD

*Slumps in*

I just came back from driving practice QAQ Spent two hours doing nothing but parking

That mustve been….fun…xD;;

Learning to park is challenging.

Who am I kidding? I've been driving for over twenty years and parking is still challenging xD

I got a new driving instructor this time who's been really good with explaining things in a way that I can understand XD

After yesterday's gruel, I think..... I can park....
It may take a long time and annoy any other drivers around me but I can wiggle myself in
