Diary Entry by: Jailene Xitlali Diaz (they/them) | Illustrations by: Sarah McCrorey
I recently discovered a YouTube ASMR series where the set up is the owner is massaging her cat BUT she's being very snarky and scamming her cat as well. I'm a massage student and been practicing on my roommates (I live in a gay hippie commune of 6 folks and a service dog) and so this little series registers in my mind as a bit of representation. I don't know when I'll graduate as the course is self paced and well... we're living in a pandemic but I think and I hope after this year I will be done with school. I currently work as a florist and it doesn't pay much and I don't get more than 12hrs a week. I keep telling myself it's all just temporary and I have savings in case I need a bit of cushion. I'm happy with my life, I just don't like my circumstances.
