You know what's wild? People say to "follow your dreams," but nobody ever mentions how the dreams you had at 10 are usually just you wanting to be a unicorn or a superhero. Now I’m 30 and still trying to figure out if I want to work in a cozy corner of an office or just become a professional napper. Can we normalize pursuing "dreams" that are just mildly tolerable instead of grand adventures? Like...
I just spent an entire Sunday binging a new series, thinking it was really gonna change my life or at least give me a reason to procrastinate on my responsibilities. By episode three, I realized I was just watching a bunch of people make the same mistakes I do but with better lighting and a bigger budget.

I don't get why people say, "Follow your passion!" like it's easy. I'm over here trying to figure out how to turn my obsession with watching Netflix into a career, and all I get are weird looks when I mention it.
