Rants: I don’t get why people are obsessed with traveling so much. I mean, I can barely…

I still don't get why we pretend to love family gatherings when all we really do is nod and smile while dodging questions about our love lives and careers. It's like a game of dodgeball, but instead of balls, it's awkward small talk. And don’t even get me started on my aunt's habit of comparing me to "that successful cousin."
