The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

Perhaps maybe we shouldn't work towards a system of rugged individuality and isolation. Perhaps capitalism has failed us by coercing us to believe living alone is an ideal worth chasing.

I won't pretend life is good for many, but perhaps living alone shouldn't be the metric for success
