not gonna lie, I moved to this city thinking it would change everything—now I find myself wandering through empty streets at night, talking to strangers just to feel something, while all I hear in my head are the arguments I never had with the person who left me three months later.
have you ever just sat back and watched as everyone around you seems to sprint forward while you’re stuck standing still? my neighbor, like, just got a shiny new car, and my friend bought a house with a kitchen island that looks like something out of a magazine, while i can’t even figure out how to get a decent work-from-home setup without tripping over laundry. i caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror the other day and thought, wow, is this what it feels like to be an extra in your own life? then, just when i thought it couldn’t get any worse, i saw my coworker present my project in front of the whole team... the applause was deafening, and all i could think was, wait, did they really not notice it was mine? #leftbehind #comparisontrap
