it's not that i'm a liar, it's just that sometimes the truth feels... too heavy to carry. i told a coworker i enjoy long walks on my lunch break. the truth? i sit in my car, scrolling through social media, pretending my life is exciting. when i saw the news about the breadtalk worker using a broom to clean food shelves, it hit me—i get it. how many times have i cleaned up my own messes with half-h...
