Home...

It's where the heart is, they said

There's no place like home, they said

Yeah man, there's no place like home, no place that's more horrid and stress-inducing like it. 

IDK if I'm not privileged enough or anything, but my house is filled with garbage around the house, dishes in the sink, cockroaches coming every now and then, and god, not to mention the family.

My mother is a perfectionist. She wants everything to be clean, and when it's not, she gets infuriated. 

I have 2 brothers, we'll just call them "douche" and "doucher"

Douche always gets angry when things don't go his way when it comes to how the house should look like, but he's a hypocrite because his room is filled with garbage, dishes, and clothes.

Doucher refuses to clean. He always sits in the living room and plays on his Xbox One, and he always makes up excuses like "my hands hurt because of work" and "let douche and Izu do it they've done nothing today". AND IT WORKS. 

I do have a sister, but she moved out recently. She's genuinely chill and fun to hang with.

Father? I don't have one. He went and dipped. Fucking deadbeat.

Then there's me...Izuyuki Kakko. My job is to collect all the dishes around the house and clean them all up. After that, I'll need to clean the pitcher and make more Iced Tea. Then finally, make my bed and pick up garbage all over the floor. It's rough, but hey, it's the price to pay when living in a house. It's called life skills. 

"How was school today?"

"It was alright, nothing too much happened today"

"Well then clean up your room, it's disgusting."

"Alright mom"

I went into douche's room which just so happened to be my room as well. 

*Hello, sanctuary...*

A room with a guitar, a gaming shelf, a tv with cable, and a nice bed...very comforting indeed.

Oh yeah, and a turntable. I know what your thinking, am I a boomer? Nah, I just love owning physical albums. It feels more rewarding that way because your showing support for your favorite musicians/artists. 

I have 2 albums, well, 1 album and 1 ep, both were made by an artist named Billie Eilish. I plan on collecting more albums by many different artists, but spending money on Vinyl is not that cheap. 

I cleaned up my brother's mess after about 30 minutes and got to clean up the dishes. No need to make iced tea this time, since there's still enough for another night. Thank god. 

*Ahh, relaxation mode activated...*

I get to spend the next 7 hours relaxing and preparing for a rough Thursday. We'll be learning Geometry, and read some novel about roman, idk. It's stupid. For Vocational, we'll be learning about pay stubs. The teacher also told us that after the lessons, we get to actually work as cashiers in that market. I'm honestly hyped, but something tells me it'd be more harder than I thought.

I got to take it day by day and see what happens.
