dont belong to no city

employers are like “we have hired exactly enough people for our business to function as long as everyone works perfectly and nobody takes a day off. if our employees are having trouble that’s a them problem.”

businesses post the 2k8 recession are like “actually we hired 60% of the people we need to function because we realized we could just work the employees harder and let the customers yell at them and no one remembers how it was before!”

to reiterate though yes i do 100% end friendships over a refusal to grow, accept accountability, communicate properly, etc like those are dealbreakers for me. i do not keep friends who don’t know how to conduct themselves like adults. i’ve been hurt very badly over friends whose refusal to grow, work on themselves, or communicate affected our relationship negatively so i have no qualms about curating space in my life exclusively for people who don’t make me feel that way ☺️

every august without fail is like i will give you some of the most beautiful golden summer moments of your life but also you will be thinking about childhood and loss constantly. it will always be either 5pm or 2am
