  • It sounds like it might be another form of poor tax.

    Your license/inspection is expired (possibly because you either couldn’t afford to renew it, or couldn’t take the day off to renew it) = given a fine.

    Misses a payment, because they already couldn’t afford the fine = given another fine and a court date.

    Have to show up in court, but can’t, again for the same reason you never renewed your license or paid the fine = given yet another fine.

    It just seems like it is intended to snowball due to greed. But maybe I’m wrong and just excessively jaded and cynical.













  • Talk to a friend about everything you’re feeling. Bitch about all his worst qualities and be extra petty about it. Cry about all his good qualities that you’ll miss. Watch a new show or movie or an old comforting favorite (anything that doesn’t remind you of him). Have a long Lemmy scrolling session to try to take your mind off it for a while. Cry some more. Tell yourself how life is so unfair, and sometimes it sucks. Scream out loud, and get some stuff off your chest that you’d never say to his face. Cry again. Write down everything you’re feeling, then keep it, or burn it (whatever feels right in the moment). Hydrate after all the crying. Don’t forget to eat, and eat whatever you feel like. Try to get some sleep.

    Potentially repeat some of those things the next day, and the next, but hopefully fewer and fewer as the days go by, and the feelings become less pointed.
