Just When I Thought I Was Past It

Anonymous Charming Charmer #583 · General

So yeah, here's the thing. You know how sometimes you think you've grown past your old habits and quirks? Well, not so much for me lately. Last week at work, we had a big presentation deadline, and I was supposed to be in charge of putting together the visuals. Thing is, instead of focusing on that, I ended up spending way too much time rewatching old episodes of Friends on my phone, it's like every little laugh track made me feel like I hadn't really moved past middle school after all. And you know what was weird? It wasn't just about the nostalgia or anything; it felt more like I needed a quick escape from adult responsibilities. Yeah, I got caught eventually by my boss who literally walked in on me mid-laugh at Ross's latest mishap. Guess I have some catching up to do and maybe less binge-watching of childhood favorites. Still trying to figure out how exactly this happened when I've been telling myself for years that I'm so much cooler than the old-me now.
