September 2026, Summary

The happiest moment of this September is found out my spdb benefit gets approved. I also bought a new bag(60 bucks, so affordable), several notebooks and a book called camera girl about Jackie Kennedy when she was younger. To me it seems to reminisce about how ambitious and hardworking she was when she was younger. She was never a footnote of someone else’s history. I was really inspired by the book. And also the other books like life of m and Famesick. I want to buy more books. I think it’s hard to read these days after you are not in schools anymore. Other happy moments include traveling to Toronto and hanging out in Queen’s park. There was one day it was really raining. A woman asked me whether I was walking one way and I said no. Then I walked quickly to the subway station in the park. Now I think about it they purposefully built a subway stop in the park since the pandemic in 2020 is to make the park less accessible to people who was dancing in groups. Or maybe they were trying to limit the park’s purpose as a recreational and leisure purposed place. But the protests, skateboarding and dancing(tho I didn’t spot since 2021) still happens. I danced under a tree a few weeks ago. That was really fun. The other happy moment was that I also get reinstated to the libraries and I called collection Ontario and they confirmed the debts were zeroed. I don’t need to pay anymore because the obligation was cancelled by my SPDB benefit. Other happy moments would be spotting people who are interesting and who are from the schools I attended. I blocked them though. That’s what made me happy. Etc. I’m just grateful I’m still alive.
