Each morning a reset, like you get a second chance a thousand times over and maybe this time you'll get it right. A voice in the back of your mind says if you haven't so far, why would you now? but your optimism is relentless. Surely you've done a few things better the second time around. Surely you are still redeemable.
Around you, your friends are changing the world. Saving lives. Improving the future. Raising their families. While you wake on an air mattress in someone else's home and only buy food on discount. Something's gone sideways and you don't actually quite know what.
Two days until you're a new person on paper.
You wonder if that's the reset to set you straight.
