I'm glad you asked.
>be me
>get an email today that they want to publish my short story collection
>tell my gf
>we were kinda fighting when the email came
>she just walks out of the room without saying anything
>tell my mother
>'ok anon'
>ask my gf later that day whether she read the short story collection (I sent it to her in may when I finished because she wanted to read it)
>she didn't even touch the thing
>tell her that it makes me kind of sad
>she just replies that I don't know shit about her make ups and she doesn't complain about that
>get angry because someone just compared a whole book which I spat out during my opioid withdrawals (I'm currently waiting for a surgery so I need strong painkillers, it's going to be a long wait because Polish public healthcare system sucks and I had to stop taking them due to extreme mood swings and paranoia and I wrote the whole thing to focus on literally anything) to painting a face
>she constantly keeps asking me for the rest of the day why am I in a bad mood

Being recognised by some big fish and having a chance at being on the shelves is nothing when people close to you don't give a shit. I'm not even happy about it anymore. I just want to sign the damn paper, tell the publishers that I want the money to go to an orphanage and hide.
