Sunday Confessions: 3-17-24

"Sometimes I worry my best friend hates me."

Last night, I finished Season 2 of Traitors on Peacock. I loved it. And if you’ve ever heard me describe my Sunday guilty pleasures, you know how much I enjoy some reality television to pass the time.

Now for my confession this week, though — When I start watching anything that isn’t reality television, I find myself falling asleep about half-way through. I feel like I’m losing part of my brain that I’m supposed to be using in order to keep my creative edge. I used to watch foreign films on Fridays and now I’m watching “Unseen Bits” for seasons of Love Island that I haven’t watched in forever.

Who am I?

This week’s submissions.

---

I love my friends but honestly couldn’t care less about their jobs or their boyfriends - and it’s all they seem to want to talk about these days.

I’m texting my ex again. I have him saved as JJ Hinge (we met in high school) so my family won’t know if the see a text pop up from him on my phone.

I’m an out of classroom teacher in a large district. I leave early everyday because my director has no clue what she’s doing and doesn’t check up on my department.

I somehow developed a crush on my unattractive but super competent boss and sometimes I feel like we’re flirting? We’re both married.

Met this handsome neighbor 6 months ago. Finally went to hook up, lasted 2 minutes.

Yesterday when no one was looking, I moved my ball out of a divot … made par/regret nothing.

I'm quitting my job tomorrow.

I love my fiancé but absolutely hate planning the big wedding he wanted. I just wanted to elope.

I went on two dates Friday night. The second date, I woke up at their place Saturday morning.

I’m 30 and newly single, started looking into freezing my eggs because I’m scared I won’t find love again.

I hate my sister’s boyfriend. She lives with him in a house mommy and daddy bought him. They’ve been dating for almost a decade. He says he “wants to propose” and the rest of my family is waiting eagerly. I think she deserves much better, but she’ll never leave him.

I made out with the bartender at my favorite bar.

The guy I’m dating has turned out to be the worst kisser.

I took 3 days of PTO a few months ago that I just realized I never put in the system. And now I have plans for all my PTO for the rest of the year. No one has said anything so I’m not saying anything.

Got in a fight with my family a week ago and haven’t spoken since. It’s been refreshing to have that space and peace.

Why is it that we’re just living on a big rock floating in space and I have anxiety about responding back to emails?

She’s all wrong for him.

I threw up at my hair appointment because I was so hungover.

I’m only hanging out with my ex on St. Patrick’s Day for he will come over and fix my toilet and save me from paying $111/hr to a plumber.

I haven’t even begun studying for the LSAT yet and it’s already filling me with existential dread.

All are married/have kids, and it’s the only thing they talk about. Like can we simply talk about all the other stuff in life?

I view my friends as fair weather and don’t think our relationship brings any value to either party. I hear them talk shit about other friends and just know they must drag me behind my back as well.

I still pick my nose and eat it at 42 years old.

I recently had a candid conversation with my bestie about her frequent facial injections. While she’s always enjoyed them, lately, it seems she’s gone overboard with the filler. During a night out, we were 3 dirty martinis in, I couldn’t hold back and told her she’s beginning to resemble the “cat lady” and frankly, her face looks like it’s been through a wind tunnel with a malfunctioning fan. Despite her laughing it off, I was genuinely concerned and serious about it.

I’ve been madly in love with my now long distance bff since high school. 15 years and I’ve been hoping it’ll just work out but now I’m in my 30s and terrified I’ve wasted my life.

Booked myself a trip to Paris just because, and now I'm here and never felt lonelier. Also realized I'm not a fan of solo dining. Cool.

Sometimes I worry my best friend hates me.

I got home today after spending two months solo travelling in South America. The guy I was seeing when I left picked me up at the airport and the thought of kissing him was an instant ick. I should have used Uber.

Been so anxious lately that I went to church for the first time in forever. I’m not religious and it didn’t really help the anxiety but it felt like something to do.

Last week I airdropped my (f) boss a sexy picture of my bare ass that was meant for my husband. She hasn’t said anything yet but every time I see her I just want to run and hide.

I never wanted my coworkers to follow me. I hate seeing their posts now that I don’t work with them. I hide their Instagram posts and really want to unfollow them.

I’ve got a pretty open week this week for the first time in a while. Join me in making it a good one.
