what does this mean?

i’m new to Whatnot, so genuine question about my first purchase;

i won a small candy bundle for $3 (+ $10 shipping) and right after i won, the girl on camera said “thank you,” then someone behind the camera said “no thank you,” and they laughed.

they were thanking every other winner before me without sarcasm.. so it instantly made me wonder if they were annoyed it sold cheap, or if i should be sketched out about the seller.

is this normal seller behavior on Whatnot when stuff goes under retail or should i be sketched out?

it’s been 2months and i still can’t move on..

i lost my pleco algae eater (fish) almost two months ago because of a faulty heater. i had her for 6 years.

even after all this time, i still don’t have the heart to take her tank down. it’s been sitting on my bar covered with a blanket ever since we buried her. every time i look at it my chest hurts all over again.

i buried her outside my home in the woods, so every day when i come home from work i feel pulled toward that spot.

i know to some people she was “just a fish,” but to me she was so much more than that. even my cats noticed she was gone. one of them used to sit in the cat tree and watch her all the time. for about a week after she passed, he kept meowing at the covered tank and pawing at the blanket like he was looking for her. that part hurts so badly because they don’t understand what happened.

i just wish things were different.

how long does this feeling last? i still carry so much guilt over it.

the way the world works is garbage and no one wants to hear it

feels like everyone’s one unexpected bill away from spiraling and nobody wants to admit it. gas was literally $3.70 monday and now it’s $4.29 down the road. pads and tampons are like $15. toilet paper? another expense just to exist as a human being. food is insane. everything is insane.

what really got me was hearing my friend and her friend are putting groceries and basic stuff on credit cards rn. i had this illusion in my head that they were well off. why does nobody admit they’re struggling?? everyone acts normal face-level while secretly drowning. i genuinely thought i was the only one barely scraping by half the time. turns out a LOT of people are just surviving quietly and pretending they’re fine.

and something about adulthood is so deeply exhausting in a way nobody prepared me for. every single day you have to figure out what to eat 3 times a day for the rest of your life. plan it, buy it, cook it, clean up, repeat.. forever. wanna cheap out because you’re tired or broke? then you wake up feeling awful because apparently it matters what “fuel” you put into your body.

why were we never actually prepared for adulthood? we learned random algebra equations but not taxes, credit, insurance, healthcare, budgeting, burnout, or literally how to survive mentally under capitalism. everybody just throws you into it and acts like you’re failing if you struggle.

i’m just tired of everyone pretending this is normal and easy.

anyway, i’m having tacos for dinner:
corn tortillas, carne picada, avocado hot sauce, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. ($15 just for the meat.. sigh)

TLDR: everyone’s broke, burnt out, and pretending they’re fine.

at my bf’s house and i hadn’t really eaten all day. he goes “let me make you my signature yogurt,” so i’m sitting there watching and it’s looking sooo good… until he hands it to me and MIXES EVERYTHING TOGETHER 😭😭

looks like unchewed bird shit fr… but 10/10 it was actually amazing and filled me up

vanilla yogurt, chia seeds, nuts, fresh banana slices, pretzels, raw honey, and chocolate chips

been growing my hair out forever, only trimming it when needed. lately i’ve been seriously considering a chop—like upper-back-length. i’m such a bun girl, so i want something with more layers that’ll actually make me feel pretty wearing it down :3 ideas???

i edited this to visualize it better, but based on everything clash royale has teased… this looks way more like a new champion than an evo or hero for an existing card. what do you think?
