What Happens When You're Lonely

-You buy an overpriced lamp.

-You're glad to come home to said overpriced lamp.

-You have coffee with people you find unsettling and narcissistic.

-You begin thinking of people as potential acquaintances or not worth the conversation.

-You spend too much time on the stationary bike at the gym.

-You get too upset when hipsters at bars stare at you.

-You become too diligent with your dishes.

But worst:

You get nostalgic about the subway when you find an old Metro card in your wallet.

oh, dear. look, all i can recommend: take a plastic bag. fill it with those sweaty gym clothes, still steaming, then take a piss on them. let the bag sit in the sun for two days, then empty it out, and cut an air hole and let it sit loosely over your head for an hour while you stand next to a jackhammer on one side, and a crying infant on the other. throw away $4 from your wallet at the end.

if that doesn't make you feel a tiny bit less nostaglic, i don't know what will.

Aww, you've started to miss things you never thought you would... almost like a real New Yorker :-P. Somehow, we always seem to come back for more punishment. I've identified it as an addiction.
