  • I was lying in bed, on my phone probably, when I felt this exact feeling. I’m not too terrified of this, so I just shooed the back of my neck with my hand to make the feeling go away. Just to be safe, I thought I’d check anyway. Right in the direction I had moved my hand there was a spider scurrying away. I probably showed it to the closest window, as is standard procedure. I didn’t know to feel terrified that you can just be attacked in your own home like this, or excited that it was actually a spider for the first time.

    I do wonder how it could be. People always say that you need to work to be happy, but it’s not like they know it from experience. The few months you spend on the brink of starvation while searching for a job isn’t comparable to an indefinite vacation.

    Just like permanent vs. temporary housing for the homeless. One helps them, the other pushes the problem along.

    If your ancestry was a tree, what people think of when saying this is the tree getting uprooted, when it really is more akin to cutting off a two, perhaps three growing seasons old branch.

    Which is to say that not even in this teeny tiny way do you matter.
