fortnite is so funny because you either have the time of your life playing or contemplate killing yourself while playing and there is literally no in-between
nobody told me this when I started working a 9-5:
- it's not even a 9-5. every job I've had has been 8 to 6.
- you get home, cook dinner, and don't feel like doing anything else for the rest of the day. then it's right back to work before you know it.
- you used to play guitar. you used to read books. you used to work out. they just slowly get phased out of you and you don't even notice it happening.
- you eat lunch at your desk because the job is understaffed and you have too much to do. that "1 hour break" they sold you doesn't exist.
- you leave the house at 7. you get home at 6. you are physically and mentally exhausted. this is a "good" day.
- you sit at your desk and can't get past 5 minutes without being the most bored you've ever been in your life
- you feel ready to have a mid-life crisis in 3 years let alone before you turn 40
- one day you realise you're giving up 5 days of your life every single week just to have a few hours at night and 2 days on the weekend. and you just accept it.
congratulations!!!!!!!!! you’ve successfully pushed everyone who cares about you away by isolating yourself & being difficult & standoffish & weirdly depressed & awkward & sensitive!!!! do you feel Better now

The worst thing about living in India is being in a country where 90% of women are 2, and almost no woman is above 4. Not only most Indian women are extremely hairy and physically repulsive owing to poor diet, they also come with this shrill and loud voice. This besides being greed, lacking style, and just plain dumb.

When i was a kid my uncle had a family and a job and a dog and then one day he just got up and walked into the woods and shot himself. I never understood why. But now that I'm 34 I'm just impressed he made it to the woods.
For three months, I was convinced my coworker secretly hated me.
Every time I walked into the office kitchen, he’d go quiet. He’d close his laptop when I passed by. He never laughed at my jokes. In my head, it became a full series: Season 1 The Workplace Nemesis. I replayed every interaction like evidence.
One day I finally asked him if I’d done something wrong.
He blinked.
Turns out he thought I didn’t like him. He said I always looked “intimidating” and serious, so he tried to stay out of my way. The laptop closing? He was embarrassed about playing fantasy basketball during work hours. The silence? Social anxiety.
We both spent months starring in completely different dramas… in the same room.
The stupidest part? Nothing was happening.
It was just two overthinkers building entire plotlines out of eye contact and bad timing.
That’s when I realized: half of the tension in our lives is self-written fan fiction.
