There are days when nothing is wrong and nothing is right. The coffee tastes like coffee, the beer tastes like beer, the sun rises where it always does, and the hours drag themselves across the room like tired old dogs. You sit there staring at the same walls, trying to figure out what the hell you're supposed to feel. Maybe you want change. Maybe you want a new city, a new face, a new habit, a new reason to get out of bed. Maybe you want something to hit you hard enough to remind you that you're still here. But every idea loses its shine before it even begins. Every road looks familiar. Every escape feels temporary. So you keep breathing. You pour another cup. You crack another bottle. You tell yourself you're thinking things through when really you're just watching another afternoon disappear. The strange thing isn't the sadness. It's the emptiness of it all. It's watching the days stack up like empty coffee cups and drained beer bottles and realizing you can't remember what made one day different from the next. You laugh when you're supposed to laugh. You say you're fine because it's easier than explaining the nothingness. And somewhere between the first coffee of the morning and the last beer of the night, a quiet thought keeps returning: maybe the worst way to waste a life isn't by destroying it, but by spending years pretending you're living it.
