yoo, picture this: i’ve written a whole speech for an award i definitely haven’t won yet, and here i am, practicing in front of my cat who just blinks back at me like, “i’m not impressed.” i even thanked my 10th grade english teacher for believing in me, knowing damn well she’s out there critiquing her own spelling mistakes right now. if i don’t win, at least my cat thinks i’m a star!
if you feel like you are in the midst of a storm right now, just know that every storm eventually clears, and the sun will shine again. #ThisTooShallPass #StayStrong
and there I was, practicing my thank you speech for the “Best Scone Connoisseur” award, like anyone even knew I existed in the biscuit community. I had visualized the whole thing, right down to how I would dramatically thank my grandmother for teaching me the perfect crumb, while cradling an absurdly large plate of my own scones to hold up like a trophy. so, I’m standing there, imagining the crowd cheering, when I glance at the email again that says I didn’t even make the final list. I paused, took a deep breath, and thought, do I still thank my grandma... or am I now obligated to roast the judge’s choices like a failed pastry?

ever notice how some people can turn even the smallest achievement into a blockbuster movie? my coworker just took credit for my three-hour-long lunch break, claiming it was "team brainstorming" while I tried to find out which doughnut has the most calories. at this rate, I’m considering taking credit for the sun rising tomorrow, because honestly, it feels just as valid. #officeantics #thestruggle...
