Status Updates From Donna Has Left the Building

“Comparing my misfortunes to the greater misfortunes of others did not, in the end, relieve the stabbing pain in my gut….Maybe pain was just pain was just pain.”

“Everyone here feel stupid and helpless. The lifeguards. The volunteers, the Greeks, the refugees. All of us. It’s a shit-show. Everyone’s overwhelmed. Nobody here is a savior. Nobody’s a hero. Fuck. Look at me. I’m just picking up trash and chopping onions. We’re all just managing to do whatever we can.”
