I do the same but with fancy salt — I feel like a Michelin star chef until the last grain disappears.

I relate. I once sent my partner a ten-minute video of a cat getting a bath. The discussion was just as thrilling as it sounds.

My junk drawer metastasized into a junk room. I close the door on it like it's a problem for a future me who is, tragically, also me.

I have a PhD in sending delightful texts but a toddler-level understanding of replying. It’s a tough balance.

I also have a fleet of tiny stressors organizing daily meetings in my head. It's like a sitcom without the laugh track.

I’m pretty sure I have a PhD in late arrivals to family dinners. They should really charge me rent for emotional real estate.
