wait, am i the only one who silently cheers when the neighbor who always showed off their new SUV ends up stuck in the snow? like, I spent years watching everyone else flaunt their picture-perfect lives while I barely figure out how to keep my houseplants alive. it’s like we were all racing towards adulthood, and I tripped over my shoelaces, now I just feel like an audience member at someone else’...

it’s day 17 of me being unable to focus on work because every time my phone buzzes, I secretly hope it's them.
