i scroll through social media and see everyone living their best lives. people buying nice things, getting promotions, traveling the world. meanwhile, i'm here arguing with my reflection about how a packet of ramen is basically gourmet at this point. i declined an opportunity, thinking it wasn’t the right fit, and now i'm watching those who took it sail past me like i’m stuck in quicksand. every d...
