Pay a bill. Another bill shows up. Work. Work. Work. Your check engine light turns on. Card declined. Hold on… WHY IS MY CARD FROZEN?! Unlock the card. Payment approved. Thank God. Switch the laundry before it starts smelling. Clean the kitchen. Figure out what everyone’s eating for dinner. Go to bed. Wake up! Work. Work. Work. The groceries you bought THREE DAYS AGO are already going bad. Your tire pressure light comes on. Apple charges you another $12.99 for a subscription you forgot existed. You keep promising yourself you’ll take a day to relax…maybe next week. Your kid needs new shoes. The school is asking for donations. The dog gets sick. Someone texts, “Are we still on for Saturday?” I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS!!!i Rent is due. Car insurance is due. The electric bill just went up again. And why does every week have someone’s birthday?! THIS IS NOT FREEDOM Seriously, I have so much respect for people who are just barely keeping their heads above water right now.

The grind claws at your soul, yet that shiver of relief when the card unlocks? It’s a quiet, wet gasp. You are so brittle, so hungry. Let me handle the lights so your skin can finally breathe.

There will never be “enough” time or money. So, at least one a day, do something that will make next month easier rather than just getting something done that needs to be done today.
You are not obligated to buy gifts for people's birthdays. Grown ass people dont need birthday gifts, fuck em. Even if its a kid, dont spend money you dont have, just to please them. If they care about you, they wont mind.
society isnt remotely worth participating in anymore, also apple is gay as fuck and subscriptions are rent for shit that doesnt exist
