Leave it on

You never realize you're living the best days of your life until they're gone. Your daughter shouting in the next room, banging on your door while you work, the stress about money. And when it's all gone, you understand you were living a dream. And you spend the rest of your life chasing that feeling again.

Wake up. Reach for the phone. Zero notifications. Not even spam. Even the app that begs you to come back has given up. You check your email too, just in case. A newsletter from a shop you used once. Staring at the ceiling for a bit. The radiator ticks. Then the day starts, like it does.
