"Perhaps I can offer some advice? …You know, Tohru-kun, when you get anxiety about the future it’s..."

“Perhaps I can offer some advice? …You know, Tohru-kun, when you get anxiety about the future it’s better not to think about it. And let’s not wipe our faces with dishtowels… For example let’s say, Tohru-kun, that you are surrounded with a mountain of laundry piled so high around your feet that you can’t move. Are you with me? Now, let’s assume you don’t have a washing machine, so you have to wash everything individually by hand. You would be at a loss for what to do, right? You’d worry about if you could ever wash everything, if you could get it all clean, if you’d ever have time for anything but laundry ever again! The more you’d think about it, the more anxious you’d get. But the time keeps passing, and the laundry doesn’t wash itself. So what do you do, Tohru-kun? It might be a good idea to start washing the laundry right at your feet. Of course it’s important to think about what lies ahead, too, but if you only look at what’s down the road you’ll get tangled in the laundry at your feet and you’ll fall, won’t you? You see, it’s also important to think about what you can do now, what you can do today. And if you keep washing things one at a time, you’ll be done before you know it. Because fortune is looking out for you. Sometimes the anxiety will start to well up, but when it does, take a little break. Read a book, watch TV, or eat soumen with everyone. Oh my, I’m shocked! Wow! What a wonderful analogy! I really must treat myself to some soumen as a reward… Oh! I’d like some tea, too!”

How do people get to know people in real life?

No, seriously. How do people do that?

How do you make small talk that actually means something? How do you fill the blanks when you don’t know what to ask and you don’t actually know the other person well enough to care? How do you get to the point where you actually can care? because I just don’t get that.

Whew that was a long day. I’m so glad it’s over. It was kinda fun actually. I guess, as fun as a family get together can be. I’m ready to get into my warm bed. Good night everyone, I hope your Easter went well :)

WHAT!? I’m actually posting something!? Yes my dears, I am. You know why? Because it’s Easter. That means another family get together.

If you read my posts from the Christmas times you’ll know how hard of a time I had with all those family get togethers. I’m being optimistic this time. We won’t be there that long because I have school the next day. I love school for this reason. During Christmas times we stayed hours and hours, my parents had on reason to leave. They love family gatherings. This time we have to leave because I have to get up early tomorrow for school.

You know what else? This is the last holiday until July 4th. The holiday seasons are officially over after this. That fact brings me much joy. It’s also almost summer break for me, there are only 6 weeks of school left. They won’t be an easy 6 weeks, rather the opposite. However, there isn’t anything in the way. No birthdays or holidays to celebrate. I can focus on my school work and get to summer vacation.

Now every cell in my body doesn’t want to go to this Easter family dinner. The fact that it’s the last one until a long time, makes me want to just get it over with. Get it over with so I can finally relax. I’ve been dreading it. It’ll be so nice to get it over with. This weekend is shot, dead and gone. It was never a weekend to me. It was a stressful, I really don’t want to do this, type of weekend. I can make it though. I can make it through one more stressful weekend. Not even school stresses me out as much as holidays do.

I have a Korean vocab quiz tomorrow, which means that gives me something to do while I’m at my grandparents. That gives me a reason to avoid conversation. I also have a major research paper to write for english. It would have been great to work on it this weekend, but like I said, this weekend is shot. Which puts me way behind, which is kinda a major problem, but I’ll deal with it somehow. Actually writing this made me realize just how little time I have to write it…..now I’m freaking out a little bit. ME FIGHTING!

Okay this is a long post, not even sure if you people read them. I’m just waiting until we leave, which is pretty soon. Maybe I’ll post a follow up when I get home? Who knows. For all of my socially anxious brothers and sisters, I wish you the best of luck if you also have to go to a family Easter dinner today. We’re all fighting together. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter. Here’s a gif of an adorable Gintoki. If that doesn’t cheer you up, I don’t know what will. That’s a pretty good depiction of me. Whaaatttt life reality, yeah no thanks, goes back into own little world.
