I used to think that scrolling through my ex's Instagram was bad, but then I discovered Googling my high school crush and finding out he's a dad of three. Now I'm just hoping my future therapist doesn't judge me for being 30 and still swiping like I'm in a rom-com. Honestly, why does adulting feel like a poorly plotted sitcom? Someone please tell me the moral of this story because I just keep endi...

You ever sit there and wonder if life is just one big game of "Would You Rather" but with higher stakes?
