On the topic of wishlists and things~
11 years ago
I know I'm gunna sound like a grinch or something like that but, well. Figure this has to be said considering
just how many people are asking me about wishlist stuff.
I will not be making a wishlist of any sort.
I get really fidgety, when people gift me things normally. It's just part of my nature, not something I can easily
help. It's how I was raised--earn everything, and don't take a hand if you can help it. I get it, a lot of people
want me to forsake this attitude. I'm working on it, to a degree with closer folks to me. Yet with those I've just
met, or those I barely know...it really makes me feel awkward. In a 'what did I do to deserve this' kind of way,
and being told 'because you're awesome' doesn't help that. It worsens it, in most cases to be honest here.
Particularly in ways of 'I want to repay' but typically, I can't. Especially right now. x3
I know it seems contrasting, given my personality and the fact I see no harm in giving gifts to other people. It
is, again. How I was raised, and how I've lived. Giving a hand, or expressing gratitude to those I've felt deserve
it. I realize, as well, that it's almost contradicting--if not actually so. Yet be aware, this is with people I've gotten
rather close to so it's a much smaller scale. This isn't an anti-x-mas rant, or anything of the sort. I know some
will think it's 'selfish' of me in some ways but s' how I am. 'till it clicks and my mind changes in some way, shape
or form it's part of who I am. M' sorry for that, but yeah.
On that note, since I highly doubt I'll be making a journal on christmas...
Have a merry christmas, and a happy new year everyone. <3
