Heartbreaks will take months and years to heal, but chores will need to be done each day. You will yearn for a long warm hug, but would learn to get that cup of milk and just put yourself to sleep.
Your mom will get sick and you would still find yourself calculating your leaves. Yet every now and then you will learn to be grateful for at least having a job. Your insta captions will call your roommates your home, but every night after a bad work day, you will know your home remains far far away. You will run on burnouts for years at end and still hate yourself for being an emotional wreck. They will worry for you and ask you to chill and it will only make your heart feel worse. You’ll need solace and space, but won’t have enough to rent your own place.
And as you try to journal your thoughts, your alarm will ring, telling you to sleep. A gentle reminder, you could have a bad tonight but still need a productive tomorrow afternoon.
