So far today I have: finished Stranger Things, been rejected from a job, drank an entire bottle of wine, cried over Minneapolis, and nearly started a fire in my apartment. It has been a day and I want it to end.

I’m starting to understand what it’s like to have your best days in your past, and for the first time I can seriously empathize with people who peaked in high school and have to live the rest of their lives with that reality
