when Gus says goodbye i can't wait to see him again. not that i go crazy not being with him. what i mean is while i can bear with the anticipation, i always look forward to it. i don't like it when i'm not with him because then i have to wait till i can see him again. but not liking it doesn't mean that i'm dying to be with him. i manage on my own and i can do my own things and have fun, but at the end of the day, i'd rather be with him. if someone told me what i just wrote i'd think they're fucking crazy bitches but i think if i feel this way after 2.5 years maybe then what i am saying is legit and licensed and not at all embarrassing

you know what else i realised, is that i don't think elderly citizens who work as cleaners have any sort of comprehension of how much they're being taken advantage of i.e. low pay, working hours, welfare benefits, etc. they don't know about minimum wage or market rate or whatever. they just know they have a job and they do it and they get money. and so when you debate in parliament, discuss in the coffeeshops, talk about it in class, they don't have any say. heck, they don't even know that people are concerned about this thing that affects them so much. and so it's got to be just the greatest ever feeling when one day their boss tells them their pay has been increased by $250, out of nowhere, this great piece of news. i think if one ever goes into politics it has to be this incentive, the desire to bring this sort of joy to people. it's not always easy but that has to be your purpose, isn't it? of course it's not that simple but i think that is of course the ideal situation, why do we not have more people who join government to make a change
