I’m sitting here, it's like 2:17 AM, the baby monitor is glowing that super faint blue light you know? and I’m looking at these spreadsheets for the quarterly review, and honestly, all I can think is… is this IT? Like, I went from high school straight to Sarah, straight to the mortgage, straight to these three little rugrats who are my whole damn world, don’t get me wrong, but I never even lived alone, not for like, a MONTH. Never had a crappy apartment, never ate ramen for every meal, never just… existed, as *me*. I just feel like I skipped a whole chapter, and now I’m here, trying to figure out if I even like the plot.
