I have a confession: I still sleep with a stuffed animal. Yes, at 29 years old, I'm out here hugging a teddy bear like it's my emotional support system. My friends think it's cute, but I swear they just don’t want to admit I’m one existential crisis away from a full-blown breakdown. Honestly, I can't be the only one still clinging to childhood comforts while trying to adult, right?

I genuinely believe that adulting is just a never-ending series of “How did I get here?” moments. Like, one minute I’m sipping juice in my PJs, and the next I’m scrolling through tax forms at 2 AM wondering why I didn’t just become a professional napper.
