I want to apologise for slow uploads recently, I’ve been so bombarded with coursework, I’ve had to dedicate some sleepless nights to make sure I meet the deadline. I recorded some videos for patreon but haven’t had the time to edit them yet! I will make it up to you, promise 🤍 I really love making videos, I will spoil this platform with content in a very short time :)

Warning! Rant ahead, if you don’t want to read my inner monologue of complaints I wouldn’t go further haha…

I hope you guys have had a good week, honestly, mine hasn’t been the best. I got sent home from my part time job today after working only 3 hours because ‘they need to send people home as the restaurant isn’t busy’, I’ve already had my hours cut in half. Apparently the managers get a bonus or some kind of recognition for reducing labour costs. I just felt really defeated and undervalued, I work really hard because I love talking to customers. I met this wonderful Australian couple today, they told me about their ventures around the coast! The lady owns a beautiful shop in Terrigal. They were such wonderful people, I felt so happy for my abrupt ending shift. My coworkers/managers are so bossy and critical about everything, questioning and assuming the worst. I feel like they feel the need to be constantly critical or they feel like they’re not doing their job. ‘Why don’t you just leave!’ Good point, my hours were not bad beforehand, I only worked a couple days which made my assignments and uni easier to manage, but now I’m not sure anymore. Perhaps I should drop it and put all the extra time into ASMR content.

It’s not the only reason I felt down, my flatmates in this house share are handpicked from the evil depths of earth. I heard lots of complaints about the older lady in the room next to me, I dismissed them because I hadn’t met her myself. I literally just had a shower, clean and sparkling, and she walked in straight after me and went ‘Oh it stinks in here!’, I didn’t even use the toilet? So I suppose that’s self explanatory. My other flatmates love to grab the door handle whenever I’m showering and let out a deep sigh to ENSURE that me using the spaces I pay for is a nuisance for them. I choose to shower once I hear everyone else go, and they still find a way to make me feel like this. I don’t even cook anymore. It’s not long left but I just really wanted to vent because I feel so much pent up energy. 😅

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t such a sensitive person, I claim to have a thick skin sometimes but it’s a lie. After a while, I do feel like things catch up to me, the feeling of not being able to do anything right.

These few paragraphs seemed a bit selfishly composed, I think I’m just a bit burnt out and have too much to do that it’s making me feel like a panicked mess.

I have so much to talk about! (Positive stuff, promise) I could make an extra ramble video or another post? Hehe let me know!

I’m so grateful for everyone subscribed here or on youtube, I don’t think you guys understand how much it helps me sometimes. ;’)

Hope you’re doing well today

I feel the past failures thing, but I always try to remember that each of us are on different paths! We can’t compare ourselves to others. Take care of yourself always and put yourself first. I did quit that job and will be putting much more into my ASMR now, feels so good to get that weight off my back.

astra asmr

Thank you so much, it’s true. I wish it was a bit more simple but sometimes there can be so much headache over finding a new job! It took me months to get this one😅 Now that I quit, there will be a lot more content 😆✨

astra asmr

Thank you so much for watching my videos for so long, I really appreciate it. ♥️ I’m really really grateful I started this channel, when I’m feeling down, remembering the nice people, nice comments, really makes me feel better. Since I’ve now quit, I feel like I can put so much more work into it, looking forward to it so much. 😇

astra asmr

That is relieving that it helped you, I feel the same, at least I know what it’s like to live with people. My expectations now are really low, and makes me appreciate how good I had it with my parents. 😭 It doesn’t help that when one person doesn’t want to clean or take out the trash, it piles up and gets left for other people. Where I used to live, I was that person, this place, absolutely not.

astra asmr

I know its easy to say just find another job or a new place to live but its not always that simple. All I can say is do what makes you happy, as often as you can. Hope school is going well and don't feel pressured to do too much. We can wait.😁

Sorry to hear you're in a rough patch rn. No worries about not posting as often, you've got stuff needs doing as well as any of us. If asmr is paying more than your job I'd say it'd be worth getting the stress of that job off your back. But idk, you could also look for a better paying job even when you're still working at that restaurant. Completely get how you feel. For me I constantly can't get my past failures out of my head, even ones from my preteen days. Anyways, me sleep 😴

Hey Astra, sorry to hear things at ur flat are lame. Most people are jerks. I too am a sensitive person so I feel ur angst. Their behavior probably has nothing to do with u at all and they are likely just unhappy people. Hopefully the next 6 weeks or so goes quickly. Sorry to hear about ur job too. Restaurant work is tough. I worked in restaurants for 10 years during high school and college. Each one had a couple coworkers who were just evil/terrible people set out to make the lives of others hell. Anyway, cheer up girl, ur great. I might be new to ur Patreon but I’ve been around ur channel since probably the summer of ‘22. Best of luck to u these coming weeks.

No rush. It’s more important to take care of yourself first, I’m sure a good chunk of us will be waiting even if you take however much time needed! Hearing you talk about your flatmates reminded me of my first apartment after going to university. I had to share an apartment with 3 other people and it was THE WORST: stolen food from the fridge, people not cleaning after using the common areas, nobody wanting to take out the shared trash are only some of the few things I had to deal with (I even had to stop using the kitchen similar to your story) but, I don’t mean to sound gloomy, it taught me that A. some people are just literally devils B. how to better deal with them and myself (exposure treatment kinda idk). I guess what I’m trying to say it sucks now but it’ll help later.

Hope venting helped, I normally find it does. Like everyone else says hopefully it improves from here!

Roger

People suck is the honest answer 🫠

Connar (Herishey)

No worries Astra, please take your time. Sorry to hear that things aren't going so well but I hope things get better. Haven't had the greatest and got bad-ish news from my doctor so guess it hasn't been the greatest but know you are not alone. Much love and support as always ❤️
