Summary:
Pete digs down inside himself. Please, come on. Something. He just wants to feel an emotion, even shame, but he can't register anything. It's like there's this hole inside of him. The old feeling of despair and disaster would be more comforting than this... emptiness.
(it's 2007, Pete laid on his bed sometime Monday afternoon and got stuck.)
Really solid trans joke I'm always saying to my kid sisters is, "Listen, I get where you're coming from. I was a girl when I was your age..." Pisses them off so bad.
In 2024, many people are experiencing a sense of unhappiness, and there are several reasons behind this emotional state.
Firstly, the ongoing impact of global challenges like climate change, economic instability, and political uncertainty has left people feeling anxious and insecure about the future. Natural disasters, rising inflation, and unpredictable government policies have created a sense of instability that weighs heavily on people's minds.
Secondly, the rapid pace of technological advancements, while providing convenience, has also led to increased isolation. Many individuals feel disconnected from others due to the growing reliance on digital communication over face-to-face interaction. Social media, in particular, often contributes to feelings of inadequacy and loneliness, as people constantly compare themselves to others online.
Additionally, the pressures of modern life have intensified. From career demands to personal expectations, many people struggle to find a balance between work and personal life. Burnout has become a common issue, leaving individuals feeling exhausted and unfulfilled.
Lastly, mental health continues to be a significant concern in 2024. While awareness has improved, access to mental health resources remains a challenge for many. The stigma surrounding mental illness persists, preventing some from seeking the help they need.
These factors combined have contributed to a widespread sense of dissatisfaction and unhappiness among people today.

Series: Part 8 of vignettes from a married life
Summary:
Mikey is so sick of the smell of hotel rooms. He wants to find his way back home home, kills the hours on the plane imagining Pete pressed into his chest, the smell of his cologne on the pillowcases, his strong fingers around Mikey's neck.
He didn't imagine coming back home to a war zone. Mikey's not a fighter, he doesn't want to battle with Pete.
(it's 2009, and in the middle of the night you're fighting with the love of your life)
