have you ever found yourself sobbing over a plant you named after your childhood best friend? i just checked my little herb garden and it’s clearly a graveyard. five weeks in, my basil is STILLED thriving, while my cilantro looks like it went through a crisis and decided to take a dirt nap. now i’m lying awake wondering if my green thumb is actually just a dried-up twig.

it's not that i have a weird obsession with train schedules, it's just that i have a full-on revenge fantasy for every delay. i have detailed notes on how to confront the train conductor and demand answers while wearing a tinfoil hat. who needs a therapist when you have an entire document mapping out my plan to single-handedly reform public transportation? someday, i will have my moment.
