Damn right I'm bitter

Recently had someone close to me point out, nuts inaccurately, that I'm better. That I should do something to change that, that it'll age me and make me die young. To that I say, damn right I'm better. Look at the state of the world. Look at the state of things. I'm doing my best, I work full-time, and I'm freaking broke. Can't even afford myself nice little things like a Calico once in a while. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I'm a damn good employee and I'm accountable, efficient, effective, and conscientious. And I can't even afford to get myself nice little under $5 things. It's a constant grind, a constant beat down, with very little joy. The world around me and at large is pretty screwed up. Of course I'm bitter, I think it's quite appropriate for the state of things.
