its not that i’m jealous of people like mark watt getting their moment. its just... i watch them thrive while i'm sitting on my couch in yesterday's pajamas, scrolling through another post of someone celebrating buying their second house. do they even know how to fold a fitted sheet? how is it that my biggest achievement today was making sure my plants don’t die? meanwhile, they’re out here playin...
honestly, while everyone is out here scrambling over measles alerts, i’m just staring at my empty fridge and wondering where it all went wrong. i quit my job for my passion—now i’m realizing that my “dream” comes with a side of constant anxiety and second-guessing every little decision. all my friends are paired up, looking cute, posting adorable pictures, while i’m over here giving pep talks to m...
