Yeah, no, it’s what it is: my life is a red flag in a cute font.
It’s what it is: my life is a dumpster fire with a killer soundtrack.
It’s what it is: my life is a group chat with no admin.
It’s what it is: my life is a raccoon wedding officiated by a toaster.
It’s what it is: my life is a dream inside a burrito inside a courtroom.
It’s what it is: my life is a therapy in meme format.
It’s what it is: my life is a series of messenger pigeons suiciding elsewhere.
It’s what it is: my life is a haunted vending machine that has run out of coins.
It’s what it is: my life is a soft no disguised as “maybe.”
