Seattle Calling
The moment I get home from work, I faceplant on my couch. I don’t want to
move or think or be an adult right now — I’d rather lie here, drooling all over
the cushions like an animal, daydreaming that my life is anything but this.
I thought that by the time I turned thirty, I’d be further along in my life.
Maybe have a house, a husband, a couple of dogs. But now I’m thirty-one
and barely affording the apartment I live in, my dating life is in shambles,
and the only pet I have is a guinea pig who hates me.
Correction, I had a guinea pig who hated me. The fucker croaked a
couple of days ago, which happens to be reason number twelve that I’m
currently trying to ruin the microsuede under me.
I’m just… drained, and the only bright side of being an adult is that no one
can tell me I can’t lie here on this stupid couch for as many hours as I want,
wallowing in self-pity and having a silent little meltdown.
I need a change, and I need it yesterday.
So, I force myself up to shower, eat, and put some clothes on, then drive
over to my mom’s house. If anyone can talk some sense into me and make
me feel bad for wanting more out of life, it’s her — so I don’t hesitate to dive
right in the moment she shuts the door behind me.
“I hate my job. Do you know anyone hiring?”
“The McDonald’s is,” she teases. “What happened now, Ivy?”
“Everyone below me is pathetic and everyone above me is stupid,” I
mumble. “Feel like I’m wading through a sea of idiots every day. I barely
have time to get my own work done because I’m constantly cleaning up other
people’s messes and then listening to them get praised for what a good job
they’re doing. I just— there has to be more to life than this, Ma.”
“There is. Have you had any luck with your writing?” My mom sits on
her recliner and gives me her full attention, making my stomach twist itself
up in knots. This has always been an awkward topic for us, something she
claims to support, but she has this tone.
“I haven’t written anything in a while. I was making progress but then I
got promoted and started working more hours,” I admit. “So, basically none.”
