so i was trying to explain how important my collection of vintage bottle caps is to this person and somehow ended up comparing them to international relations or something—now they think i belong in a museum for weirdos. seriously, who knew a bottle cap could turn a casual chat into a bizarre TED talk?

some days i come home to my tiny one-bedroom with the peeling paint and stare at the pile of dishes i keep avoiding while my friends are posting about vacations and promotions. i just left mom’s place again and it hits different when you see everyone else's lives moving while yours feels stuck like the food in the fridge...
