ever thought about moving to a new city for someone who promised to be your everything, only to have them ghost you faster than a bad wifi connection? yeah, me too. so here i am, stuck in a place where my biggest achievement is learning all the local takeout menus by heart. guess who's been binge-watching cooking shows, only to burn ramen while practicing self-love in the mirror? life choices real...
