If you're into fragrances, as I am, go to real perfumers. Some of my favs:

AbdesSalaam Attar: Self-taught Sufi perfumer who only uses natural ingredients. Many of his perfumes feel like you're walking through a Middle Eastern bazaar. Milano Caffe, Cuoio dei Dolci, and Tabac are worth a sniff.

from now on i’m just gonna put my 8hours in, keep my head down, and leave. no other interactions outside of work other than with those i think are ok. no more hanging out after work. i’m set to leave next year anyway, it won’t matter that i won’t have friends from my time here

what i need is to be respected enough for my skills and what i can do at work, and for people there to work with me to do what i need to so i can leave lol. i’m gonna start leaning in to being aloof like i did during my first few months there. those are just people i work with, not friends

maybe when i’ve had some sleep i’ll feel smt but right now i’m finding it really hard to care. i just realized how useless it really is to try to make people around me like me. i don’t really need to do that, known that for a while but now i truly get it. i don’t need to be liked

tldr version it was smt about me personally that had nothing to do with my performance. when they finally told me i just felt nothing. it’s funny now when i think about it lol they were so awkward about it and the one who told me seemed like they were put on the spot despite volunteering to do it

i was actually going to take a pass at one scene but i ended up thinking about the project as a whole. it’s kind of sad to not have even a roughly coherent outline so that led me to still not having any chapters

i have the next 2 days free to do what i want but will probably end up just sleeping and doing laundry. i am so tired

im actually considering going back to spotify premium bc of this album 😅
