Excess

My apartmentmate may not have used the bathroom in the past several hours. I can guess this not because I monitor said usage, but because if he had, he would have seen and picked up the mail propped against the wall next to his door. He is probably too busy playing games. As far as the rest of us in the apartment can tell, he spends his life working part time at a supermarket, sleeping, and playing video games online—MMORPGs specifically. His door is never open (I’ve only ever seen a sliver of the inside of his room even though his door faces mine), he doesn’t go to school, and apparently doesn’t communicate regularly with family (a relative came looking for him once). My description paints a sad portrait; indeed, such a life doesn't seem like it can be very happy. If you struggle with something similar, do yourself a favor and break the dependency.
