Q: is "hey thanks for checking in i'm still a piece of garbage" meant to be relatable but not actually your feelings? 
A: it is a re-enactment of my feelings on a certain day from 8 earlier. it is also the sequel to "i'm a piece of garbage" which also happens to be a re-enactment of my feelings from the previous day, also 8 years earlier. bonus, it turns out garbage is relatable
