Fics like My life is misrable until a circus comes to town...and why does it feel like I know everyone in it.

My life is mundane, if I'm talking about it nicely. A hellhole is probably a better way to put it. I live in a small one-bedroom apartment that is placed in a dingy part of town. I’m a barista and have been since I got out of school 3 years ago. I'm in crippling debt from a degree that is apparently utterly useless at getting me a job in my desired field. I’ve never enjoyed living. I wake up, go to work, come home, and read late into the night, fall asleep, and repeat. Fitting in meals right before I feel like I'm really going to faint. I don’t like my reality; it is cruel and mean. Life is monotonous, and my only reprieve is the books I devour that give me a glimpse of what life is supposed to be like. Not the society that exists around me. With selfish humans who never looked past their own fleeting struggles to help others. I always thought I’d be dead by now; life has no meaning to me, and no one would miss me if I disappeared. And yet here I am, always going back on my words to myself. Then a circus comes to town, and I'm drawn to them in a way I can't explain. Everything about them feels familiar. I feel like I know them, and why do they look at me like they all might know and want me too?
