Like, why can’t we just agree that a quick chat is never quick and usually involves discussions about our entire life choices? I swear my heart races like I'm about to face the firing squad. Just once I’d love for someone to say, “Can we chat? And also, there’s a million-dollar lottery tic...

Why do we keep pretending that we’ll "get our lives together" by 30? Like, how many of us are still Googling “How to adult” while eating cereal for dinner?
