Nice normal millennial young woman explains her reasons for abandoning the creeping meatball.

In turn, The culture mocks her for it, in an urbane and clever but no less venomous way.

I love you but I don’t care one pooplet about the stock price of your patently evil multinational employer.

If you love me, don’t give me a wry smile and quote the one about Living In A Van Down By The River.

I might have cogent reasons for the choices I make with a strong will.

Or I might be broken by the years and holding on by my teeth in the beautiful struggle.

Either way I’m the shade of gray

I was born to be.
