Sitting at my desk listening to the Cocktail Hour playlist from my wedding in February of 2020 after an exhausting weekend of going to large events in public. While my legs are more tired than they’ve been since my Peloton obsession, this playlist feels like it’s massaging the grooves in my brain as I type this.

And here’s everything readers needed to get off their chest this weekend.

---

Giving my two weeks notice on Friday. Boss will be completely blindsided. I’m so excited.

I’ve been working from home due to a cold. I’m fully recovered, but I’m heavily thinking about saying I’m still sick so I don’t have to go back to the office.

got a tattoo last night that represents the love I have for a man that isn’t even mine…

My boyfriend’s house stinks and I don’t know how to tell him.

Got fired at 32 and have just a bit of savings. I don’t know what to do with my life.

Was looking through some photos where I was 20-23 years old recently (currently 25), and was sent into a shame spiral because of how awkward and unattractive I looked compared to all these 20 year olds today who look gorgeous, confident and have a great style. Like, WHY did I spend the prime years of being young, sexy and careless by wearing ill-fitting clothes and having a haircut that didn’t suit me?

I have a crush on someone that reminds me of my father; I don't particularly like my father, but I love him. If I was sane, I'd pack my bags and never look back.

My best friend of 20years, has an obsession with men. The idea of being alone is almost against her very existence which annoys me and I can't hide it any longer.

The paycheque to paycheque is killing me but my independence outweighs financial security. I fear it is the dumbest choice I’ll make.

My boyfriend (31) is always missing social queues and often doesn’t know how to read a room. Sometimes I wonder if he’s an actual caveman reincarnated and worry that he’ll be a dipshit for the rest of his life.

I would normally post the party I went to in Close Friends but posted it to Public so my horrid officemate can see it. She was one of the first viewers of me in my pretty dress with my pretty friends.

My brother’s girlfriend ruins the vibe of every family (and general) social event and I am grieving that my brother plans on marrying her. I hope he sees through her bullshit, gets tired of her terrible social skills and constant humble brags, and dumps her before it goes too far.

I’m in Europe alone. Got a good cry in last night because I was feeling so lonely, but this morning I feel like a new person. Sometimes an emotional release works wonders I guess.

I was prescribed Mounjaro and I know it’s going to help but I feel like a failure and I can’t wait to get off of it… it’s been a week.

It’s so unfair to me that men can just function throughout the month and women are fighting against their cycle in this stupid society men built. I am rage. And on my period.

Did not go back to my previous employer after maternity leave. I’m actively looking for another job, but not very hard. I’ve actually enjoyed being “unemployed” and raising my babies.

Met a girl at a social event and she has became far too attached (friendship wise). I didn’t want to do coffee but did it anyways because I felt bad but we just are not similar and we can’t be friends. I feel bad ghosting but I can’t deal with the forced coffee trips that rely on me making the conversation. No matter how much you say we are alike we aren’t and I’m not going to become your best friend. I’m not an awful person I promise!

I matched with someone on Bumble after Hurricane Milton so I could use their place for AC and a hot meal because I still have power.

Nothing bad, my confession is I’ve never been better and that’s shitty to say maybe? My life is that “unbothered, moisturized, in my lane, flourishing” meme right now. I’ve never been so happy with life going so my way.

I hooked up with 2 staffers at the resort I was at last week.

I may be in the office on Excel, but mentally I am having the nastiest most filthy sex with 5 men being used as a sex doll.

Every time I take a day off of work for no reason other than my own enjoyment, I find myself wondering if becoming a career woman was a mistake. Would I be happier just working at the mall or Target or something?

I am a fully grown adult, but I love visiting my parent’s house and letting my mom take care of me for the weekend.

Husband is out of town this week and I’m really looking forward to the alone time.

I want to fire my MIL from the free childcare she’s providing me.

My ex’s name pops into my head almost every night before falling asleep. I’m not even in love with them or anything (I swear!) but it’s so routine that I feel like I need to tell my therapist so we can change this.

Got drunk last night and decided to stalk my ex on instagram. Turns out she’s got a new bf and I haven’t landed a date in three years. Was I actually the problem? Therapy is gonna suck this week.

I fell in love with my best friend and now I have to sit through dinner parties with them and their partner like it doesn’t crush my entire being.

I was rapping a song last night for karaoke and crushed it! I’m surprised I did all 16 bars while drunk.

I’ve hung out with 3 different men in the past 4 days because I don’t like being alone.

Stumbled on my TikTok crush’s OF… considering subscribing.

I’d only been a social smoker before but I have been smoking a joint and eating a bag of chips by myself every night before bed for the last 3 months.

Lied that I lost power during the hurricane just so I didn’t have to work remotely. Who has to work during a hurricane anyway?

I’m literally so happy.

I need to get laid.

Sometimes I intentionally don’t eat before a night out in hopes of not spending more money.

I just want to disappear to the woods for a while and live off red wine and truffle pasta.

I die inside a little when the people I don’t like or find incredibly bland or basic repost *slams my laptop shut* posts on Fridays. Some don't even work on laptops.

I went skinny dipping last night with a friend who I kinda like and I know kinda likes me back. We ended up kissing and he gave me the best head I have ever had, but I’m about to be in a relationship with someone else. I know he won’t say anything to my future boyfriend, but I’m not sure what to do. I can’t stop thinking about his mouth on mine.

While drinking wine at home and juggling texts with two guys I’m talking to… I didn’t realize I invited the wrong one over until he got to my apt door. Ugh.

I have a crush on one of the guys who works at the grocery store and I’ve really upped my shopping outfit game, probably for the better.

My husband’s chewing becomes 10x louder when he’s annoying me.

Considering paying an Etsy tarot card reader to tell me about my love life.

Every time I see Hezbollah in the news I picture Hasbulla.

I almost shit my pants at Sam’s Club today.

I kinda think my father-in-law is attractive.

Messed up a close friendship because I finally asked her to stop sharing everything we talk about with her husband. Am I crazy?

Booked a flight to Amsterdam after laying off half my staff on Friday.

Every time we have a wedding related event, my husband gets drunk the night before the event and is miserable day of. It's so annoying because I want to have a good time, and then look horrible because I've lost my patience.

Quietly alarmed at how many Zyns I’ve accidentally swallowed.

Opened Find My to see my boyfriend was at a jeweler while I was out of town for a friend’s bachelorette party. I guess I’m next?!?!

I buy my family cheap off brand butter and eggs and keep the kerrygold and happy eggs for myself.

My boyfriend thought he was getting a handful of booty and I accidentally farted on him.

My friend got engaged and she doesn’t deserve it.

First trimester has been kicking my ass and it’s making me question if I have the physical and mental capabilities of being a good mother.

Editor’s Note: You’ll be a great mother.

Planning an elopement instead of a slightly bigger wedding and the idea of not paying to entertain other people is honestly making me giddy.

I think i’m falling for a guy who’s in a relationship with someone else. I’m convinced he will leave her for me.

Woke up from a wedding and had to look through my phone for any vivid memory of what I did. Sad to say, the evidence was not good.

I don’t get appeal of vinyls.

I stumbled across my ex boyfriends Strava and stalked 2 years of his running history.
