Chapter 1: Recognizing the Signs

There can be both subtle and stark indications that you've stopped caring about the various aspects of life.

Imagine waking up at 4 AM, hitting the snooze button a couple of times, and finally dragging yourself out of bed at 4:30 AM. You shuffle to the bathroom and, in a moment of distraction, miss your aim and make a mess. Cleaning it up can wait until later.

As you glance at your reflection, you bypass the usual motivational affirmations. After all, there are plenty of those self-help gurus online who can take the stage. You cough and spit in the shower, but it misses the drain—again, no big deal. You’ll shower tomorrow; today isn’t the day for that.

You briefly consider brushing your teeth, but why bother? It’s your day to not care, and you know it. Your work messages are piling up, you haven’t spoken to your family in days, laundry is overdue, and oh, the electric bill is late. Wait, how long has it been since you last cared?

Striding into the kitchen, you realize you haven’t even bothered to get dressed. It’s all part of this carefree day. You step on the scale while munching on Oreos, noticing you’re seven pounds heavier than last week. But that’s tomorrow’s concern; today, you’re living in the moment. Breakfast? Forget the healthy stuff—let’s go for whiskey! Sure, it’s not the best choice, but why not enjoy it on the rocks before the sun rises?

Whiskey and raisins—a champion’s breakfast, right? You sprinkle raisins into the drink because they can be a bit too tart on their own. After laying down a towel on the couch, you think, “Why not?” It’s better than having your bare skin touch the couch on this carefree day. At least you can pretend to care about cleanliness.

Once you settle in, you realize the remote is across the room. But it doesn’t matter; it’s only three feet away in your compact apartment. Still, today isn’t the day to get up. You continue munching on your raisins while sipping whiskey in the dim light.

You reconsider your approach: why not just chug the whiskey, grab the remote, and bring the Jack and ice bucket closer?

As you watch reruns of Jerry Springer, thoughts about all the tasks you’re postponing swirl in your mind. You can’t possibly fit everything into one day. Why do you keep doing this? You promise yourself a day of not caring, and it stretches into two, three, or even an entire week! This cycle has to change.

Is this why you’re always on edge? Is this what leads to your financial struggles and constant complaints about life? Have you considered that your life feels chaotic because you’ve ceased to care? There are things that do require your attention; balance is essential.

You wake up, surprised to find a slice of pizza resting on your stomach, an empty whiskey bottle by your side, and a six-pack of beer whose origins escape you. The TV screen is filled with static, and you glance at the clock—it’s 3:58 AM!

“Damn it! I can’t keep doing this,” you mutter. “Calm down; it’s going to be fine.”

Is it really? You have a mountain of responsibilities waiting. But perhaps you can just push it all to tomorrow.

“Sure, what was I thinking? Let’s have another day of not caring.”

And just like that, the cycle continues.

I know it’s easy to fall into this mindset. Go ahead—order yourself another bottle of Jack. Actually, make it two. You’ve earned it!

Yours truly,

Your Subconscious
