literally quit my job to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a professional kite-flyer. thought I would be soaring through life. now I'm just stuck in the park arguing with the neighborhood squirrels about who has the best tailwinds. did I really give up my secure income for the chance to catch a breeze and talk to rodents? I know deep down those squirrels have job security.
day 12 of pretending to be invisible to people from my childhood—so this guy I used to build pillow forts with walks past me at the grocery store like I am a limited edition cereal box he has never heard of. like, excuse me, we were teammates in the great plastic army men wars of '09. he even made my mom a meatloaf one time—like, are we just gonna pretend that never happened? it's like he thinks the past was a weird fever dream—and I’m over here, planning a reunion for a friendship that’s just me talking to myself in aisle seven about our illustrious past.

not gonna lie, the news about the kaiser strike hit me hard. last week, i saw my neighbor in scrubs, looking exhausted. instead of asking if they're okay, i asked if they’d ever help me train my pet cactus. because, obviously, THAT’S more important than their mental breakdown. now with this strike happening, i guess i’ll be alone with my cactus wisdom while we both contemplate life choices. #Kaise...
