i watch my friends post pictures from their vacations in pretty hotels while i sit in my tiny apartment every night, listening to my parent shuffle around and forget things, making less than what my rent is just to pay for groceries, sometimes i feel like all that energy i used to have for my own life got sucked away and now all i do is worry about if i gave them their meds right.
