drove to meet up with my dad (fine) and sibling (irritating) for brunch. spent half the way there crying because i got thinking (again) about the pocket friend who passed away a couple of weeks ago.
got through brunch with only some exasperation and sibling and normal conversation with dad. talked about how depressing it it about the fact that i'm probably never going to be able to afford to buy a house in the city i was born and have lived 95% of my life. or even just rent a place without a flatmate and with capacity to have a child. or just rent a place where i can have a pet.
and knowing that a lot of this stuff is extra limited by my partner having not been gainfully employed since 2017.
and then finding out that my younger stepsibling is having a second baby. that means that all three of my stepsiblings have two kids and at least one pet and own their own houses in this city and it's just the worst kind of pain.
and every time i think about it i get so fucking sad. like what is the point. of anything. i work so, so hard. i do a job that benefits society. and i have so little to show for it. and even then. everyone i work with has some kind of combination of either owning their own house or having a pet or having kids or having extensive travel experience.
and so i drove home and cried the whole way home about all those things.
and now i'm home and am just so goddamn sad. so so sad. and i don't know where to channel all this energy because how do you throw out onto your social media channels 'I Am Incredibly Bitter And Resentful Of Other People's Fortune' energy.
I got a brainworm a little while ago that was basically 'what if Seven hadn't learned to read before being assimilated and then there was no reason to process information visually in the Collective so basically Voyager-era Seven didn't know how to read?'
And this is my response to that brainworm. It's faintly pre-J7 for the first five chunks and then outright Saffi fluff in the +1 but at the end.
And it's my vague response to the 'helpless' prompt for Day 1 of Febuwhump.
NEXT CHAPTER UP.
