every time i see the Tkachuk brothers on social media, it hits different. like, they’re out here thriving, and i can’t help but wonder if i took a wrong turn somewhere because my life feels like an endless rerun of 'what ifs.' while they’re celebrating accomplishments, i’m over here still figuring out how to feel comfortable in my own skin, questioning every choice i made that led to this moment. ...
so i splurged on these super fancy spices, thinking i’d become a culinary god. fast forward to me, staring at the bill while contemplating my life choices, as if i had just ordered a diamond-encrusted salt shaker instead of seasoning. meanwhile, my pizza rolls keep judging me from the freezer like, “this is your chef's hat?” can i at least blame the economy for wanting to live my best kitchen life...
i swear i could win an Oscar for the dramatic way i interpret small interactions with strangers. like, the other day at the grocery store, someone slightly bumped into me and for the rest of the day, i crafted this whole narrative about how we were meant to meet. obviously, they're my soulmate, right? but then, i see their cart filled with nothing but kale and gluten-free snacks, and suddenly, i have to convince myself that i don't need a person who's that healthy. i just KNOW we would be an epic romance if only they would drop the organic lifestyle. instead, i have to settle for imagining our first date over an overpriced salad i would NEVER eat.

literally just told my boss I couldn't make the meeting because I had to help my neighbor with a plumbing issue. which is true, but they also don't know I spent that entire time trying to fix the leak and ended up just spraying myself with water while he laughed from his window. honestly, he probably thinks I am trying to be the next home improvement star instead of figuring out how to get through...
