I don’t get why everyone is obsessed with “living in the moment.” Like, excuse me, but I’m currently stuck in a Zoom meeting that could have been an email while my future self is desperately trying to pretend this isn’t happening. Why are we pretending this is the peak of reality? Can’t we just accept that sometimes, scrolling through my phone while half-listening to my boss is a totally valid way...
Is it just me, or does it feel like every time I try to be an adult, life throws a curveball? I mean, I thought I'd have my life together by 30, but here I am, still googling how to boil an egg without messing it up.
