Why is it that every time I’m trying to enjoy a peaceful night in, the universe conspires to throw random power cuts my way? Like, congratulations, I bought a fancy air conditioner and a 65-inch TV, only for you to remind me I live in a third-world country. And don’t get me started on the “surprise” candlelit dinner I have to set up to salvage my plans. At this point, I should just invest in a set...
Why is it that the moment I finally decide to get my life together, I find myself questioning every single life choice I've ever made?
