“I love my job,” you whisper to yourself, à la Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada. You’re half joking, half desperately trying to convince yourself it’s true. And work is just the start. Your whole life feels cluttered and confusing. You want someone to notice you’re struggling - but then you would have to admit that you’re struggling. You'd prefer people to know the poised, polished, professional you, not the messy version of you that stress watches Parks and Rec until 2:00 am. So you grit your teeth and make another to-do list you that deep down you know you'll never finish.
