Is it just me, or do video games give us the illusion of control over our chaotic lives? Like, in an RPG, I can save the world and level up, but in reality, I struggle to level up my laundry game. Honestly, my biggest victory is figuring out what to eat for dinner without resorting to microwaving last week’s pizza. And don’t even get me started on “just one more level” turning into a 5-hour binge....
So I just finished reading this book that everyone's been raving about, and I have to say, the main character’s life is just as chaotic as mine, except she’s got a better wardrobe and a solid job.

If anyone tells you that you can’t be addicted to self-help books, they clearly haven’t spent a week reading about how to be your best self and ending up with 50 tabs open on anxiety hacks. Like, I’m now fully certified to fix everyone’s life except my own. At this point, I should start a support group for people whose lives are a mess because they’ve read too much on how to fix it.
