I should be laid up on a beach right now in my bikini, soaking in the sun and relaxing
But instead I’m at work sitting at a desk that I clearly don’t belong to
I should be cuddled up with the man I’m going to marry
But instead I’m stressed out wondering “What if I die alone?”
I should be buying tickets to explore the world
But instead I’m scrapping change to gather enough money for lunch
I should be talking to my grandmother about my plans for the future
But instead I’m thinking of all of the memories she left for me to cherish
I should be doing whatever the hell I wanna do
But instead I’m just here struggling to stay awake…
