every day i look out of my window expecting to see alaska.
every day i look out of my window and see texas.
the sight of snowless streets and kids in flip flops causes my blood to coagulate.
why does the thought of somewhere that's completely cold and empty make me feel like i'm neither?
just so you know, everyday i wake up because someone pressed the "start" button, and selected my character. i run scatterbrained and exhausted through my day being forced onwards by someone who's learned all the secret "combos" and has unlocked all the levels. this expert player has discovered the perfect balance for me to do all that they want until i'm almost at my breaking point, until my "life" has almost run out. just when i'm finally reaching the end of my "life", they press "pause" and run off for school.
most days i wish i could just reach "game over".
