Right now I'm working retail as I'm in-between jobs and broke as a joke. All the kids I work with are genuinely sweat, and very naive. All the older women I work with are Live Laugh Lovers who can't fathom anything beyond watching this is us and gossiping about people who miss work. I spend the entire day being faker than Jimmy Fallon's laugh. My family has always been a collection of unberable assholes and my friends were always fairweather, and since we grew out of partying, and I stopped making all the effort, they're fading into the background.

I wish I had one person in my life I could have any real respect for and be myself around, but every one I know gets the diet coke version of me, because if I gave them the truth it would hurt them and just make my life harder.

I'm looking forward to everything improving. But that means everything around me needs to change.
