it’s three a.m. and my phone just buzzed with a text from my 'best friend' who, funny enough, only shows up when they want something. you know, like how people rush to claim a ticket before the lottery results today, fully convinced their numbers are special, meanwhile, my friend only remembers my number when they need help moving. suddenly, I’m wondering if they’d send a celebratory text if I won...
it’s not that I’m unhappy. it’s just that I’ve become, like, really skilled at pretending to be a hummingbird in a garden full of plastic flowers. I flit around looking vibrant, but inside, I'm just trying to remember if I literally left the stove on or if that's a metaphor for my life choices.
i never realized how much my “live, laugh, love” aesthetic was hiding my actual mess until my parents dropped by. they thought they were visiting their perfectly put-together child, but instead, they stumbled into a one-person laundry mountain and the ghost of a meal from three weeks ago. somehow, my motivational wall art made the chaos feel like art installation. after they left, i considered turning it all into a new trendy concept: chaos chic.
