#but you're always a liiiittle bit looking around like. wait am I THE ONE who's struggling now?? when did THIS happen

[variousqueerthings]

being one of several siblings is constantly being in lowgrade competition about not being the one who's doing the worst in life currently. I'd say beginning of the year I was pretty solidly in second place, and we're slipping down that rung, but that's because my employment is so dependent on the stars and the gods and my mental health aligning at the exact right time. I think I provide a much-needed whimsical insecurity to our prospects as a family, one moment I'm the only one of the kids with a degree, the next I can't access most of my funds due to moving to another country and brexit, and then, wow, a whole grant for six months, and now, guess what... solidly burnt out for another six. what will I think of next? tune in next week, it may be an experimental bottle episode just consisting of me reviewing doctor who episodes in an oversized hoodie, it may be an offer to direct a documentary short. life.
