I am sorry I wasn't brave enough to stand up to my parents when they told me not to marry you.

My daughter’s piano teacher is the most attractive man I’ve ever seen. I pay double his hourly rate just so he stays an extra thirty minutes to chat.

I put my ex's phone number on a car dealership contact request page when they wouldn't return my jacket.

I told my coworkers I missed the team dinner because of a scheduling conflict. I was home eating air fryer nachos.

I’m the only person in my family who knows my uncle isn’t actually related to us by blood. My grandmother took that secret to her grave.

I left my dream job because the commute was too much and no one else knows why I quit.

I’m convinced my next-door neighbor is in witness protection. He has zero digital footprint, three security cameras on his porch, and pays for everything in crisp $100 bills.

I still celebrate your birthday quietly by myself every year with a single slice of your favorite cake.
