You ever have those moments where you’re staring at a plate of food and it hits you that you've spent more time planning your meal than actually enjoying it? Like, I’ll scroll through recipes for hours, pretend I’m a Michelin-star chef, only to end up with instant noodles because I can't be bothered to chop an onion. I mean, who needs culinary skills when you have a microwave, right? Seriously tho...

You ever notice how the friends who say “just be yourself” are usually the ones who don’t have a personality to begin with? Like, thanks for the advice, but I’m pretty sure if I was “myself” around you, you’d run for the hills. Life tip: sometimes it’s okay to fake it till you make it.

I just realized that I still have my childhood teddy bear hidden in the back of my closet, and honestly, if that thing could talk, it would probably spill all my embarrassing secrets.

I decided to go on a solo road trip to find myself, and let me tell you, the only thing I found was a new level of anxiety and a questionable amount of fast food wrappers in the passenger seat. I tried to be deep and reflective, but really, I just ended up getting lost twice and accidentally joining a group of retirees on a bird-watching tour. Now I'm back home, and the only thing I’ve really lear...
