i love shutting the fuck up online. every time i write a reply/comment/equivalent, stare at it for a second, and think to myself "i don't need to say this!" and delete it, i earn another pair of wings in my next reincarnation

I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.
Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.
Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

Real.
I'll start typing up a response, read it, then delete it. I don't need this shit, I can just play video games or something else instead.
Seriously, one of the habits I need to keep cultivating. Sometimes you need to just write something out, take a beat, and then realize you just had to get it out- no one else needs to see it. You don't need their feedback.
