Tsuru, Japan.
Recently, I’ve been very irritable. It is probably due to my period, so this post is probably unreasonable and ridiculous. Still, I can’t help but type. The reason for this post? Moochers.
So my boyfriend has this perk: he gets these standby airline tickets for a fraction of the price of normal tickets. And every time I hear that someone is trying to take one of these tickets, I get a little annoyed. There’s only so much in a year that his family is allowed and still he decides to be nice, handing them away for nothing. He charges them nothing for getting a cheap-ass ticket, when his family is losing the number of vacations for themselves. I guess it would be okay if it were for friends - but acquaintances? It’s not place to decide, but I would rather go on more vacations with him than just hand them out for other people to enjoy. I mean, we’re on a mission to travel the world; it shouldn’t be hindered by anybody else’s desire to use him.
Then again, if it doesn’t have anything to do with nature, I’m pretty greedy. I don’t like it when my loved ones are taken advantaged of. I also don’t like it when people are inconsiderate. Personally, I would rather do it myself than ask for a favor. Maybe it was the way I grew up, but I hate borrowing money. If it’s something that is within my power to do or buy, I’d rather do that than rely on someone else. Then again, maybe it’s my adamant desire to be solely independent. I don’t want to owe anybody anything. I don’t want to do anything if I get nothing out of it.
So that ticket you wanted to get to go to Korea? Forget it, we’re going spring break instead. The ticket to Europe? Oops, sorry. Already bought our bikes for a ride through Italy. How about Los Angeles? It’s actually about the same if you bought a ticket with a guaranteed seat. Or maybe Hawaii? That’s the highlight of my summer -you should go somewhere local.
So back off. Pay for your ticket yourself. If anyone is getting a free ticket somewhere, I need one for Japan. Like I said, on my period. I’m illogical, so sue me.
I can’t fucking wait to go abroad.
