I've realized something life-changing: I genuinely appreciate my barista more than most people I know. Like, if they can remember my ridiculously complicated order - iced venti caramel macchiato with almond milk, light foam, and extra drizzle - even after I've been ghosting my own friends for weeks, that's a superpower.

Can we talk about how every time I try to take a nap, my neighbors suddenly decide it's the perfect time for a drum solo?
