also it really takes the fear out of getting older when you realize that society has collapsed and we are no longer obligated, nor should we even be expected, to settle into Serious Adults in business suits with steady office jobs and 2.8 kids. there’s nothing to stop us from just gradually becoming more eccentric with each decade. we may not have retirement plans but we can plan to gradually evolve into the 80s van wizards our parents were too cowardly to become.
Me: [getting up in the middle of the night to pee]
My cat: here comes your special boy!! Where are my kisses from mommy!! Why will you not let me sit on your lap??? WHY will you not let me lay in your pants. I will scream at the top of my lungs to show how unloved I am in this god forsaken household. I can not believe I am forced to live like this.
