On My Lotus

I'm writing this from atop a lotus flower floating amongst the clouds. I am emanating a warm golden light and my every exhale turns into a sprinkling of butterflies.

Ok just kidding.

I'm at a coffee shop in my neighborhood in Queens. I haven't had a steady income in six months. I have student loan debt totaling $25,000, I have about $3,000 on my credit card, and I have no idea how I'm going to pay my rent next month which is about $2,000 per month.
