You know that feeling where days intertwine and weeks fall away beneath your feet? This is my life right now. I've floated through the last month, reading books, going to work and sleeping. My life is usually an endless countdown calendar, wherein there's an event I'm looking forward to- it comes and goes- and I … Continue reading My floating existence
Somewhere along the way, we privileged, first-world people, decided we wanted more. The American dream, which promises anyone can achieve anything, married capitalism, spread around the globe, and birthed a generation of people who would willingly work themselves to death.
