Is there something you thought was a huge deal, but it didn’t end up being a big deal?
Hmm there are so many only to realize later that they really weren’t a big fucking deal at all:
- being popular in high school. BTW, I never did go to my high school reunions, but mostly because they never organized any. I’m relieved but also kinda sad about it.
- achieving high grades, GPA, ACT and SAT scores. I thought they would define the rest of my life. In Korea, they certainly do but in America, no one cares after high school ends.
- graduation—high school + uni. I wasn’t planning on walking on graduation day from uni. I told my professors my parents couldn’t come because they would be in Korea… but when my rents found out the date, they forced me to attend my graduation ceremony. And I had to buy the cap and gown, which I later donated to the Goodwill.
- going through heartbreak(s). At the moment, it feels like my world is ending. I replay conversations, analyze texts, cry endlessly into my pillow, and question my worth. But everyone at some point goes through it. My heartbreak(s) aren’t special, even though it feels like it.
- having a bunch of followers on social media. I used to care, I was obsessed the numbers but now? I don’t have the bandwidth to care.
- the whole getting married and having kids. It’s an expectation from society and my parents, but I was so turned off from my ex-fiancée that I have major trust and commitment issues.
- going through a divorce. People used to look down on those separating but nowadays, no one really gives two shits.
- being exclusive or inclusive. I just wanna do what I wanna do.
