In the past month have you been Dumped: No. I did the dumping.
What? In the last month? You keep secrets, man! Not fair.
Also, I don't know why everybody I know is depressed about their lives right now, but really, it's not that bad. ...okay, I am shit at consoling people. But like, you have a job, which is more than some people I know. And it's a job at a university, which is even a step up from most of the people I know who did manage to find a job. And grad schools will probably be fine with that. Do you need to have a place at the top? If your passion is writing, then don't you have what you need already? What's having a plan going to give you that you don't have already? Same with everybody's desire for a relationship right now--it just seems like panic at the thought of getting old, finding a job, a plan, security. Not that I don't want a relationship, but well, I expect to wait years for it. Maybe it won't happen at all. Maybe I'll just fuck a few guys and call it good.
I don’t need no upward mobility
I want to unlearn what I’ve learned Want to unearn what I’ve earned Want to burn my bridges down Find a place I can’t be found This is my manifesto destiny Tearing down this upward mobility
Because I’m tired of standing upright The taller we become the more dollars we can grab from that highest branch And then step on your back given the chance But not me, I’m a bipedal backpedaler just as sure-footed as I can
