like many Latine ppl, my full name consists of a myriad of last names from literally every blood-related family member that has ever graced this planet. although they're beautiful-sounding and i adore them all, they are quite frankly too long to use for username purposes. on top of that, it just doesn't feel right to butcher/frankenstein parts of them just to create a condensed username (perhaps iāll change my mind on that aspect someday, but for now, iām pretty steadfast about it).
alas, verygoodvalentina was born... it uses my first name, it's easy to remember, feels like a pseudo-alliteration with the two Vs sandwiching the "good" together and can be said like a sentence, "very good, Valentina!" or as an entity, verygoodvalentinaā¢ļø (VGV)

My last name is really long and often kind of unwieldy, if I call someone on the phone, itās guaranteed they ask to spell it, so I drop the suffix and that makes things easier. That, and itās my handle/name used for writing elsewhere.

and i like my name! it's normal but unique, classic and fashionable.
it's very easy to make MANY nicknames with it (georgi is the one i prefer, but i know 2 other georginas with different nicknames, and people sometimes give me other nicknames: gina, gigi, geo, toti, chorchi, just to name a few).
i have a second name and a last name that are also italian (we're Argentinian), and my whole name is pretty cool and unique.
tbh, one of the best things my parents have done for me.

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments sectionā major yuck š¤¢

early 80s to early 2000s truck models are the perfect sizes imo. current trucks are transformer-sized behemoths that could easily crush normal vehicles into smithereens upon impact and i legit donāt know how those things are even street-legal. also, idk if itās their design, reliability or the nostalgia factor per-se, but thereās a certain sazĆ³n those older trucks have that newer ones donāt.

with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and iām not gonna pretend iām above any of this because itās so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst itās a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. itās a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity thatās independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they donāt hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldnāt or wouldāve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
