The world I live in is not the world other people live in.

I’ve had proof of that.

Plenty of people work shitty jobs,

but they still

volunteer at hospitals and animal shelters

come up with amazing vegan recipes

paint every day

play in a couple of bands.

In my universe bosses talk like drill sergeants

and there’s nothing funny about their complete lack of

humor

empathy

curiosity

and, most importantly, musical taste.

I just won’t let my mind be polluted by cheesy renditions

of songs that were already barely bearable.

It takes all the joy out of me.

Gone.
