Sooo my friend is going to rip me off this summer by only paying me basically $2 an hour to babysit her 10-year-old sister ($20 bucks a day, for anywhere from 10-12 hours). I agreed to this before I knew what I was getting into (bc I trusted someone who was a close friend, who was a babysitter herself, to pay me fairly, whoops i guess). My mom got pissed immediately bc well, her daughter is geting ripped off. And when I confronted my friend about it she gave me several excuses as to why I basically just have to deal with it (‘my mom is broke and can’t pay you so only I’m paying’ ‘Since I’m paying you and I’m only making $300 a week, you’ll be getting $100 of that bc I don’t wanna give you more bc then I won’t be making bank even if I’m paying you fairly’ ’it barely takes effort to watch my sister so I’m pretty much paying you for nothing’) yeahi bolded that last statement bc that is her main argument. She thinks it takes zero effort to take care of another human being for 12 hours five days a week so I don’t deserve more? I guess?
Anyway, the reason I haven’t backed out already is bc I have shitty friends and not enough self esteem to get rid of them, so she will definitely immediately talk shit about me to all of her friends (who are also my friends) until they are all on her side and hate me. This isn’t even a worse case scenario anxiety induced fear. This shit has happened before (I really should learn, huh).
And of course if I do it, I’ll be miserable as fuck wasting the summer my mom told me I didn’t have to get a job for (I usually intern at her job, which didn’t pay me at all, so babysitting is a step up, right? Right?) since it’ll be my last summer before I gotta do college things.
My solution: witchcraft.
If that doesn’t work: I don’t know what the fuck to do. I already decided that I will never speak to these people again, once I’ve left highschool and will no longer be forced to see them. Maybe I’ll just deal with that earlier. Fuck
Hmm so I’ve done some magic, who’s results I should be seeing within a week. If it backfires or works out differently than how I planned it (I planned how I worded this very meticulously though, so I hope not) then I suppose I will just destroy a friendship I didn’t very much like anyway. Gotta see the bright side, right?
Solution time: my wonderful mother told me to just use her as an excuse for why I’m no longer allowed to babysit for cheap as shit pay. Thanks mom!

Man, one of the big reasons why Spirited Away really grabbed me, was that I felt that Chihiro did most of the same things that I would’ve done if I was her.
On retrospect, certain things are really obvious now.
I just saw this movie for the first time last week. It’s very sweet, and I can really see how a ten-year-old girl might enjoy this (having been one myself ofc)
Also, I’m of the firm belief that fiction has a magic of its own (not even mentioning fiction that’s literally based on certain spiritual practices) so I can also really appreciate this movie from a witch standpoint.
