I hear ya! I really don't know how we're 'getting by' (if you can call it that, lol,) either. You'd probably be surprised at what you can exist without when you straight-up just don't have any other choice or option but to go without it. (Healthcare, dental care, food beyond the bare minimum to stay alive, any entertainment or conveniences, etc.)
Notice I said "exist" and not "live," lol. You could say I'm 'alive,' but this ain't living! I'm just existing.
And everything is orange for him, and himself, and everybody around, 'cause he ain't got nobody to listen to, to listen to, to listen to....
Now that's gonna be stuck in my head
