Meeting the status quota and waking up and living our lives day after day. Making time if we are lucky for friends and family if we aren’t too overwhelmed. Seeing the weeks and months passing by while also uncomfortably aware of what is happening in the greater picture of social political regression, and environmental degradation. While we all just try to make it to the end of the week have a couple days to recover and then it starts over again. Feeling tired and overly aware of the things we should do, call our mom, fight injustice, get a coffee with an old friend, start that business we have been talking about for year, partake in a hobby you set aside months ago and never finished, and fight for democracy.

capitalism is meant to suck the soul out of you and work you into the GROUND. it's how the gov creates soulless people that don't have the capacity to care about anyone but themselves. everyone's too tired and too concerned about their own needs being met to think of anyone else.
but people are meant to be chillin with the homies, reading books, creating art -- enjoying life!! all without the pressure to commodify their hobbies or stress about working a 9-5 just to (sometimes barely) survive!
so i've found that just accepting the fact that it's ok to not be productive is sort of a mini revolution. it gives more meaning to life than just going thru the motions of a 9-5. it gives you a larger capacity to care and form community with others, and that's something that the gov does NOT want (as seen this past year smh)

recently, my girlfriend left for a study abroad and most of my ffriends are on holiday break away from NY. therefore, i have just been in this cycle of working and eating and sleeping. these past few days, i've made it my mission to get something done before i leave for work. whether that is taking out the trash or getting a croissant, i just have to have done an activity that requires me to leave my bed before my next shift. who'd-a-thunkit, i actually feel a little bit better every time i do this! i feel like i am making sense of the time that i have and i find great pride in being intentional about my joy. to more days like these, my lovelies
