honestly, every time I see an adult confidently handle a situation, I just think, "wait, do you guys also not know what you’re doing?" like, I caught my neighbor mixing cement while wearing a dinosaur costume once. I mean, if that’s what “having it together” looks like, I guess we’re all just pretending to be the lead in a play with no script and poorly painted sets.
so i was just chatting with my plant, mable, about how i found this hidden treasure of subscription charges that have been sneaking up on me like a raccoon in the night. turns out, i’ve accidentally been paying for a "fire damage restoration" service that i signed up for after binge-watching home renovation shows. and while mable keeps thriving, my finances feel like they’re experiencing their own...
just realized my grandma still has my childhood treasure box, and I thought about asking for it back like, "hey, can I have that?" but instead I just blurted out, "what are you keeping in there? like, important things?" now I'm trapped in an awkward conversation about her old shoelaces and a broken compass I swore I’d find a use for, so here I am, stuck between overthinking how to ask for my toys back and regretting I didn't do it ten years ago when I had an actual plan.
