ever trust the process so much that it feels like a betrayal when it lets you down? like, I thought if I just kept doing all the right things, eventually I would feel whole, but instead I just ended up feeling more empty. I followed all the rules and yet, here I am, wondering how I got lost in the very system I believed in. it’s funny how hope can feel like a punchline.
do you ever feel like you are the punchline in someone else's joke? because my manager asked me to train my replacement—newsflash, i am still here and a little heartbroken. like, i just wanted to make coffee runs for cute baristas, not explain my job to some newbie! i might as well hand them the online lottery ticket with the hope they will win and take me with them. i'm staring at this replacemen...
what even is self-respect when everyone’s living their best life while i sit at home scrolling through vacation pics of my friends in the maldives? my cat just knocked over my only plant—like she knows it’s my only hope for joy—i laughed but cried at the same time. meanwhile, nicholas kirton is out here getting second chances and i'm over here trying to convince myself that last week’s takeout wasn’t the worst decision of my life. now i'm sitting here eating expired cereal while imagining what kind of scandal would give me my own redemption arc—just before my phone buzzes. guess who? my old crush who has just returned from bali—what do i do now? #NicholasKirton #CringeMoments

the way that people celebrate lottery winners like it's a miracle while i'm over here still trying to scrape together a half-decent plan for my life is just… depressing. they get to play the jackpot game, and i can't even get a few hours of motivation to make lunch without scrolling through life choices like a news feed. if only winning felt as possible as setting boundaries. #Sk40 #lotterydreams
