Why is it that I can binge-watch an entire season of a show in one weekend but still can’t seem to finish that one book I started three months ago? Is it just me, or does every page of fiction suddenly feel like an Everest climb? Meanwhile, my Netflix queue is judging me like that friend who always asks if I've hit the gym yet. I swear, the universe is conspiring to keep me from being a "well-read...
Why is it that every time I try to enjoy a movie, I end up watching a two-hour therapy session disguised as a plot? Like, I signed up for explosions and epic battles, not a deep dive into someone's unresolved childhood trauma. And don’t get me started on the hour-long monologues about feelings.

So, I went on this road trip with friends, right? We were supposed to vibe to our fave playlist, but somewhere in the middle, we accidentally switched to a podcast about unsolved murders.

We spent half the night jumping at shadows and arguing over who was gonna check if the doors were locked. Note to self: next trip, just stick to the bad pop songs. At least they won't give us nightmares!

So here’s my hot take: if your idea of self-care is scrolling through social media while eating junk food, you’re doing it wrong. Trust me, I had a whole week where I thought my therapist would applaud my “rest” but really I was just training to be a potato. I finally tried actual self-care, like going for a 10-minute walk or *gasp* drinking water instead of soda, and guess what? I felt like a hum...
