I am no longer financially insecure, but there were a few periods when I was writing/recording this album when I really was. All through my twenties I seemed to be in and out of credit card debt. The absolute nadir was April-December 2018 when my car was totaled, I left my job, lost my health insurance, moved to New York, got really sick, couldn't find work, and then found work in a bagel place but making less than minimum wage (it was not clear to me what I was supposed to do about that situation). Beyond that, it just seemed like everything I thought I was supposed to do in my twenties wasn't happening, and I wasn't making any progress.
lyrics
I didn't picture that guy destroying my car with his truck on my way home
I didn't picture dodging my mom's text when she offered two grand through a cell phone
I didn't picture living a life in debt cause I lived a year on a credit card
I didn't picture Trapped inside that job where he paid me less than he said he was
You will never make a dime, even finding gold
I didn't picture things getting so dark and sobering up at 22
I didn't picture spending time without healthcare, thing I learned is plenty do
I didn't picture losing all that art when my laptop went and it bit the dust
I didn't picture hating extroverts cause one extrovert colonized my trust
You will never make a dime, even finding gold
I didn't picture alienating you when I came home from work and I felt so sick
I didn't picture not being able to follow through and have a kid by 26
I didn't picture going nowhere fast, watching my peers from the bottom floor
I didn't picture hiding from the world in my 20s
Oh yeah, come and get me
