It was nine in the evening when I walked into my apartment.

Place was a fucking pigsty.

There were clothes all over the place because I usually didn’t even make it to the bedroom because I was too tired. I plopped down on the couch, turned on the TV, and slept in my clothes, drooling all over the pillow.

Dishes had piled up in the sink, so high I couldn’t add a single dish on top without it rolling to the tile. My fridge was empty except for a carton of expired orange juice, a couple bottles of water, and a pack of sliced American cheese, which I snacked on when there was nothing else to eat.

I was too busy taking care of other people to take care of myself.

I catered to the rich and famous, but my life didn’t mirror theirs at all. There were no vases of fresh flowers on the tables, no dry-cleaning hanging in my closet, no clean sheets on my bed, no groceries in the kitchen.

Sometimes I wondered why I bothered to pay rent on this place, considering I was almost never here. Should just sleep in my office and save the cash.

But the hardest thing about coming home was the fact that no one was here.

I was alone.

My job consumed more than forty hours a week of my life, so I didn’t have time for much else.

Time for me.

The thought was so depressing that I skipped dinner and lay back on the couch, kicking off my heels, and pulled the blanket over my body so I could fall asleep right there.
