(Depression warning) Because there are no rules to life and it’s chaos. So you might as well try to make your own personal rules and live the way you want? It beats the alternative, which is to give up.

Look, I’m sure you probably meant this in a really nice way but… How the fuck am I supposed to ‘make my own rules’ or whatever when I’m dirt poor, unemployed, and my choices are a mother who bullies me, a husband who accused me of faking autism, or living on the streets?

I don’t have any fucking options right now. There is no way I can just ‘live the way I want’ no matter what it is I may want. And telling me to just sort of reeks of “bootstraps”.
