No, things aren't alright. Just existing costs too much because we live in a system I feel we have no power to change. I'm desperate, but my efforts never seem to amount to anything. I'm constantly struggling to reassure myself that there is light at the end of the tunnel because right now I can't see any. My wildest dreams fled long ago and even my humblest hopes are packing to leave. So, no, everything is not alright.

But enough about me, how are you?
