I hate celebrating new year's
There is so much pressure to do something awesome and be out all night somewhere overcrowded and overpriced in the name of a calendar day changing (when it’s not even the REAL lunar new year’s).

Addiction is a dirty word, softened by the thought...
it is like
me telling you not to eat cheese
i can tell you all the destructive cons of cheese
but if you yourself love cheese
it will only be when you decide to stop eating cheese that you will stop eating cheese
and sometimes not even then
if someone you love told you to stop eating cheese
you might stop eating it in front of them, but then you'd just eat it in the bathroom while crying to yourself
