>>23954108Pan Piano makes $300,000 a year. Three hundred thousand dollars. Just for playing some anime songs on a piano while wearing sexy cosplay that shows off her body. She gets to live a dream life, adored by millions, handed everything on a silver platter because she’s attractive and knows how to milk simps for attention. And here I am, working 12-hour shifts in a warehouse for $16 an hour.
I still live with my parents because rent is insane, and no one can live on $16 an hour. My parents don’t understand. They think it’s “good money” because they’re stuck in the 90s and have no clue how the world works now. They just complain about me still being at home but refuse to acknowledge how impossible it is to get ahead anymore.
My whole life has been a disaster. My parents didn’t raise me; they just fought each other all the time and treated me like some kind of inconvenient afterthought. They never let me go outside because of “stranger danger,” so I never made friends. Never had a childhood. Never even had a girlfriend. I’m 26 years old, and I’ve never even kissed a girl. I don’t know how to talk to people because I was never given the chance to grow.
Meanwhile, people like Pan Piano get to coast through life just for existing. She doesn’t know what it’s like to struggle. She doesn’t know what it’s like to wake up every day feeling like you’re on a treadmill to nowhere, working just to survive while never actually living. She’s out there getting praised and rewarded for flaunting her body while I’m invisible, grinding away at a job that doesn’t care about me, with no future, no hope, no nothing.
