I keep the gift cards you gave me because they remind me of everything we used to do together.

I accepted a job offer using a completely fabricated portfolio, and now I am frantically teaching myself how to do the actual work.

I overheard HR discussing upcoming layoffs during lunch, and I've already applied to five competitors.

I want to reach out to you so badly, but I respect your boundaries too much to ruin your peace again.

I've secretly been a fan of your art since you started making videos three years ago.

Everyone in my high school class is starting families while I am still trying to figure out my career path.

I remember every single small detail you mentioned about your childhood pet because you looked so happy talking about it.

My childhood friends and I used to make vows to stay close forever, and now we don't even know what each other looks like.

Our company's "unlimited PTO" policy is a total trap; anyone who takes more than two weeks gets sidelined for raises.

My roommate hid the TV remote, so I downloaded an app that controls his smart bulb and turned his lights off during his game.

I didn't visit my grandfather in the hospital because I was terrified of seeing him look frail and weak.

Watching my parents grow old and frail breaks my heart in slow motion every time I visit home.

I still keep your old voice messages on an external hard drive just so I never forget the cadence of your laughter.

I’ve been hooked on my boss’s voice for months. Every time he calls me into a 1-on-1 meeting, I record the audio just so I can listen to it later.
