Have you ever had a time in your life where circumstances have gotten so insane that you cannot tell whether you are coming or going? When co-workers and friends stand before you with their lips moving, but you can’t hear a word they’re saying for the random details cluttering your brain? Where you find yourself dreaming of a more low-maintenance career, perhaps one that involves petting kittens?

If I would have known that growing up meant this kind of day-to-day madness, I would have stayed a kid for a lot longer.
