my alarm was set for pm
my sock kept slipping
there are pen marks on my jeans
my music went off in class
I had to read out loud
someone didn’t use the door I held
my fish wouldn’t be quiet
my browser tabs weren’t restored
I said “you too” to a question
the fitted sheet kept coming undone
the page corner’s bent
read 3:43 pm
But it’s 7:19

This is just so relatable. Some days- truly most days, so many things go wrong and I sometimes question how thats possible. I love that you used your effortless humor into this piece and it ironically has made my day brighter. I especially the smallest details, ones that don’t think to bother you, until it all accumulates and it does. It was so, as mentioned, relatable. Like for an instance, I hate when I have pen marks on my clothes, without me knowing exactly how they got there and I always answer automatically with you too in a back and forth how are you conversation that it ends in awkward laughs and I still get embarrassed hours later that first conversation. The time, especially on a slow dragging Monday is the worst and I understand how you feel on a deep level. Overall, this was such a fun, well written and thought out piece, and I am sure that we aren’t the only ones to feel like that everything that could go wrong is going wrong for us!
