Today’s nothing special. I did get all dressed up, though. Full face of makeup, just to run errands with my mom so I can impress the geeks at the tech store when we go buy her headphones. Sorry, but I love the superficial validation. I need to work on my vanity. Now my father’s tagging along, which has my mom in a pissy mood. Rightfully so, I guess. At least they waited for me to be of age before starting the divorce process. Home can be hell sometimes. As an only child, I never really had anyone to lean on. According to the therapists on TikTok (yup, I just wrote that), I have a narcissistic mother. My father’s on the spectrum, so sometimes talking to him feels like talking to a robot. Not a good mix. So I guess, being an only child, I’ve always just been in my own little world. I made my own company. My own thoughts. My own distractions. Don’t get me wrong, I love my parents. Individually, at least. Even when we get stuck in our little ruts. Anyways, got my validation at the store. Now we’re off to see a movie as our little dysfunctional family, I guess it's not all that bad.
