chicago: a million, rachael: 0

congratulations, chicago, you win. i can't handle it here anymore. i just can't.

today, walking out of an extremely shitty shift at my job that i hate, the back tire on my new bike was stolen. next to my bike was someone else's flat tire. thanks. i really fucking appreciate that. i don't fucking get it. am i just not meant to live here? does the soul of this city hate me? i was just about to say that i'd just throw myself in and give it another year, but i don't know that i can. fuck, i don't know that i can get through the summer. i hate my job, i can't keep a fucking bicycle to save my life, it's fucking june and it's still freezing outside, and living with my sister is just not working out.

at least i'm going to europe in a little over a week. maybe i'll just pick up and leave after that. i don't know. it's glaringly obvious that i don't know what to do with my life.

aww lady, sounds like a horrible day! maybe the trip to europe will clear your mind and get you some perspective...or at least a break from the cold.

mama loves you. <3

I'm sorry the city isn't treating you well. Go get laid in Europe and maybe you will feel better!

i know those kind of days in a semi-new place. p.s. you should consider moving to philly. i need a roommate.

I hate when cities get a bad attitude. Where are you going in Europe?

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times. You should move to New York. I mean, we have a very comfortable air mattress and we cook vegetables occasionally if you would like a fun place to stay while you job hunt and stuff. In any case, keep the chin up and remember you have fans all over the world.
