  • I had a similar upbringing. Wog parents mentality is to do everything for their kids, even into adulthood; especially for sons. I really didn’t learn much day-to-day life skills living at home. At the time I hated this, especially comparing myself to more independent people in my life.

    Moving out of home came with a sharp learning curve to care for myself, but i think I can say with confidence now that I am very self-sufficient. You will learn the skills you need when you need to, you are not “behind”, and honestly I miss my parents doing stuff for me because now I spend a lot of my non-work time doing chores. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, gardening and more. I don’t really enjoy doing any of it - I like to keep a clean home, eat good food and have a nice-looking garden and that’s stressful, it’s a lot for one person especially.













  • Another presso for maketing today, 4th time delivering the same content. You’d think I’d be less nervous by now. Reminding myself I know more about the presso topic than anyone in the room so it doesn’t need to be perfect. And breathe.

    Edit - it went well! Less people than RSVP’ed but all very engaged and asking questions which means more than people who just show up and listen silently. I have A LOT of leftover sushi catering though, gonna be eating sushi for a few days.
