You wake up at 7 a.m. to the horrifying sound of your phone's alarm.

You hit snooze, then you take 10, 15 minutes to drag yourself out of bed, head towards the shower.

You sit on the toilet, look at your phone before you hop in.

You tell yourself, you're only going to do that for like five minutes, and then you're going to start your phone before you hop in. You tell yourself you're only going to do that for like five minutes,

and then you're going to start your day. But you doom scroll for about 15 minutes instead.

You now take a hurried panic shower instead of a relaxing one. You hop out, you quickly dry your hair, brush your teeth.

Check Instagram or Tik-Tock or Facebook again, even though you promised yourself you wouldn't waste more time.

Then you eat some breakfast quickly. Then you doom scroll, tiny bit more. Put on on your shoes look for your car keys sit back on the toilet actually take a shit this time and then head out the door

You get in your car realize you need gas stop at the station, pay a surreal amount of money to fill up

your tank halfway, then drive to work at a job you hate.

You catch a glimpse of your tired eyes in the rearview mirror, you look at the crumpled

receipts and discarded

coupons and empty gator-aid and Pepsi bottles on the floor you look at the

overpriced Starbucks coffee in the cup holder and the book you've still never

opened but tell everyone you've started reading in the past in your seat. You look at the person in the car next to you.

They look equally as tired and empty as you. And you think to yourself, why the fuck am I doing any of this?

What is the point? Is this all life is? Just getting ready for work? Going to work?

Seeing the same coworkers? Half of whom I would never hang out with for any other reason that I have to.

Following people on socials, I don't even care about drinking the same coffee eating the same

snacks barely paying my bills just a fucking hamster on a wheel a rat in a cage

getting a little older each day and that eventually dying as the world replaces me with some other asshole living the exact same kind of life that no one will remember either.

What is the fucking point of living?
