i just finished a crazy week of work, which included such highlights as an 8 hour shift, two 5am shifts, a midnight closer, and a Black Friday.

i guess it means more money though.

money's not everything, but in my situation, i have no redeeming projects or pursuits that validate my days. no school. no active job search. little-to-no writing.

but i do help my mom with bills now. an embarrassingly meager amount each month. but it's something. and it's all i have to give. and with the holiday rush at william sonoma, i will be earning a slightly less meager amount.

so money's not everything.
but money is all i have.
money is all i have to give.
money is all i have to show.

and on a few occasional frightening moments, i realize maybe the world has always been this way.
