good things are broken now. the “countdown to christmas” blares over the store radio so often that even the songs i love set my teeth on edge. i get another email saying that if i want my loved ones to actually love me, i need to put a downpayment asap. my phone starts dying right around the new edition’s opening. the books i used to read are on their 26th series when there’s no longer a good story. 

nothing is sacred. remakes and new seasons and extended universes, none of which are done for the love of the original - just to fill dead lungs with rot and call that breathing. i can’t even waste my time zoning out; i am calculating how soon i need to go to sleep so i can wake up so i can get back to working. if i work two shifts i can afford a yearly subscription to the things that used to make me feel accepted, or i can afford to one time see a clinician for the very real problems i have that i have been ignoring. (can’t go to a doctor, they’re only there for business hours, and the medication will be ordered out of network, im sure). 

there’s nothing left to suck out of me, but they always find a way to suck something new out of me, and then act surprised when i answer with defeat. kids these days are so jaded, angry. kids these days have given up the idea they can ever find work that makes them happy.
