Life is too hard, man. Forget marriage, kids (sorry, Grandpa), owning a house; I’m just trying to keep a roof over my head. Have lost 37 pounds in a year being flat-ironed across the pavement by America Incorporated. I stare at my ribs in the mirror like The Machinist. Starting to glitch out.
Was gonna petition these new surveillance cameras at work, which would have gotten me fired. I’m exhausted anyway so I thought it would be worth it for the show of solidarity to my co-workers. My council did not. And when you have all-stars in your corner, you listen.
A blurry-eyed fortnight of planning and deliberation ended in the longest bear hug I’ve ever shared with my father, on the eve of the revolution, May 4th, no less. A real Kodak moment. Robbed me of the last bit of fight I had left.
Darth prevails yet again. Luke lives to fight another day. Maybe I just needed proof he is still alive…
E.F😞
*Nosedive happens to be the title of Black Mirror episode 3.1 starring Bryce Dallas Howard. Her character struggles in a not-so-alternate reality where social media feedback ratings determine everything. A single rating blemish for something as trivial as not smiling enough in front of a customer causes a person to become a social pariah.

I think I feel the same way.
Glad I’m not alone.
Life Is Hard! That is a title which I have known whole through my life! Take care, mate.✌
What’s the Persian phrase you used the other day? “The stick is shitted at both ends.” I relate!😂
🤣🤣👌👍🖖
“We only die once but we live every day” – I’ve read this recently somewhere as a twist to classic “we only have one life”.
Yeah man, life is tossing us curve balls by design. Sometimes we dodge, but more often than not we get hit. The difference is how quickly we get up and how fast we learn from our own mistakes. Chin up with full sails ahead!
(Dusts off) I need your Jedi reflexes for the curve balls! Ok, sails are back up. I’m reviewing “The Last Samurai” to rebound proper. We make landfall in 1876 Tokyo next week🇯🇵👊🏻🙏🏼
P.S. Can’t wait for the new season of the Black Mirror!
Same I’m currently watching some episodes I missed.
Life may be hard but it is beautiful! 👌
Yes, and thank you for the beautiful comment🌼

We’ve gone through the looking glass. A friend of mine works at a company remotely where they’re installing cameras in editors’ homes this week. These people have been working from home for going on four years without incident…so why install the Big Brother stuff now? We know why. Life may be beautiful, but some people do nothing to enhance that aspect of it.
That is some 1984 gestapo shit right there. Every sci-fi writer’s worst nightmare is coming true before our eyes. Resistance is vital. Your last sentence is so in line with my thinking right now.
