Been high nonstop for years. I realize it’s bad for my health. But at least being high feels good.

My future is on a planet becoming increasingly unhabitable, under a government becoming increasingly fascist, doing nothing but working and still not being able to afford rent or food, never traveling, never making real friends much less finding a life partner, water quickly becoming a luxury, and with zero chance of ever retiring.

So why even bother?

    One should always be drunk, that’s all that matters.

    So as not to feel time’s horrible burden

    That breaks your shoulders and bows you down

    You must get drunk without ceasing.

    But what with?

    With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose.

    But get drunk
