Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

In other words:

How I’m feeling lately. Going to read Days of War, Nights of Love and try to continue at my job for a few more years until I can pay my way out!!! Then Bon Voyage, crazy country of origin!!
