Things began nice. There I used to be, sitting on a shelf at City Outfitters minding my very own enterprise. Simply being a rock. There you have been, the oldest particular person within the retailer and feeling salty about it. Having lately celebrated my 4.5 billionth birthday, I might relate. I imply, does the music should be so loud? Does all the things should be a crop high? However I digress.
You checked out me with such hope and optimism that it appeared like we have been off to an incredible begin. If you cupped me in your palms and held me as much as the sunshine, I assumed, “Okay, geologist!” I used to be excited to go residence with you. I used to be excited to do what I do greatest: completely nothing.
However you had different concepts.
It began along with your neighbor, the one who says “noice” unironically and calls girls “females.” At some point, you have been carrying a bag of groceries and he shouted, “Good mangoes!” after which laughed like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas. You clasped me in your palm and stated, I hope he will get hit by a mail truck. A bit harsh, however I get it. The man has a visual Cartman tattoo. However later that week, when he crashed his electrical bike right into a tree and broke his femur, you grabbed me and shrieked, “We manifested it!”
Please, don’t pin this on me.
What I’m making an attempt to say is that I can’t be held answerable for your hopes, goals, and schadenfreude. Let me be clear: You didn’t discover that ten {dollars} on the bottom due to me. I’m not the explanation your being pregnant check was destructive. And don’t give me credit score for lacking jury responsibility. You threw your summons within the trash and known as it “standing in your energy.”
Woman, they’re coming for you!
I do know what you’re pondering. What’s the large deal? It’s simply innocent enjoyable! However the strain you placed on me is excruciating. You watched Girlboss on Netflix and determined you wished to grow to be an entrepreneur. However as an alternative of—oh, I don’t know—developing with a enterprise concept, you stuffed me right into a dusty nook within the east facet of your bed room since you learn a feng shui chart that stated it was your optimum course for fulfillment.
Let’s put aside the truth that you learn the chart unsuitable and also you’ve now put us in your worst potential course, northeast! The purpose is, do I appear like a goddamn profession coach?
I’m slightly dysregulated, I get it. However this isn’t the life I had deliberate for myself. I’m unsure if I’ve stated this already, however I’m mainly a rock. A horny rock, positive. However nonetheless, a rock. I used to be purported to be lower than this. I had zero goals I wished to return true. Objectives? Ew! I needs to be loafing round someplace in Arizona. Or sitting on the backside of a river.
You recognize when individuals say, “dumb as a rock?” they’re just about speaking about me. So in all probability, I shouldn’t be accountable for your life targets.
The insanity has to cease. I’m drained. And you’re (actually!) rubbing me the unsuitable approach. I can’t manifest you a elevate. Or repair your posture. Or put gasoline in your automobile. Or discover out who unfollowed you on Instagram. Or ship your mom to voicemail. Or set up your laptop updates—You’ve been hitting “remind me tomorrow” for nearly a 12 months, simply do it already!
We might have had one thing particular, you realize? Which is to say, we might have had the form of relationship that human beings and minerals have had for hundreds and hundreds of years: no relationship in any respect. You admire me from afar, I sit there and look fairly. It’s a win-win.
Pay attention, I’m not making an attempt to be impolite. I get it. It’s exhausting to be an individual! If I’m exhausted out of your limitless needs, I can solely think about how exhausting it should be so that you can dwell in a continuing state of dissatisfaction. Regardless of how a lot you have already got, it’s by no means sufficient, is it? I suppose that’s the worth you pay for consciousness—trying to find methods to distract your self from the void of existence and the ache of being mortal. I’m your approach of pretending you might have management over the chaos of existence.
What can I say? Sucks to be you! For the above causes and lots of extra, please think about this a proper termination of my employment. Efficient instantly.
Mediocre vibes at greatest,
Your humble therapeutic crystal
