so my dad thought he was sending me a few bucks for lunch but instead handed over 340 THOUSAND to some guy pretending to be me, like what, who knew impersonating me could be so lucrative? now it feels like the universe is handing out absurd awards for sheer stupidity and i did NOT sign up for this ridiculousness.
sometimes i think about that random moment last summer when i spent an hour organizing my bookshelf, felt so proud but still, the silence was louder than the clatter of books and now every time i see a spine i remember how nice it felt to have that order but also how completely alone i was with my thoughts.
stopped by the nursing home again and somehow had to listen to the same terrible elevator music on repeat. it just hits different knowing my siblings would rather be doing anything else but checking in on our mom, like am i the only one who cares enough to give her a few minutes of conversation.

overheard my coworkers talking about their bonuses and how they were taking trips and buying new cars. meanwhile, i am still here in this tiny apartment, just wishing i could afford decent takeout without feeling guilty.
