You click that subscribe button, thinking that something spectacular with happen. Sadly, there isn’t any fancy fanfare after that single click. It’s quiet. Still… Congrats, you clicked the button!

Without much thought, you simply go back to your everyday life, that 9-5 minimum wage job at the one little store down the street from your house. And whatever you need to do, you do it with as much effort as you can muster before trudging all the way back home, that short 5 minute walk having suddenly turned into a climb up Mount Everest.

You don’t know how you got back to your front door, but suddenly you’re there, the dark house calling out to you. It’s been waiting for you to return, for better or for worse. More tasks await your attention: The dishes have been neglected for about a week now, and that pile of dirty laundry isn’t getting any smaller sitting in that dark corner over there you know. You could ask the flies that constantly circle your trashcan to do your work for you, but they’re a little too stupid to do anything, really.

So you sit down at your computer, ready to forget about yourself and your reality for an hour or two. Though the first thing you’re greeted to is an email popping up in your inbox. It’s from that one person you subscribed to 3 years ago.
