The Destination You Never Planned For But Somehow Always End Up At
So you’ve moved back in with your parents at 29, your dating app says “There’s no one new around you”, and you just discovered your high school nemesis is now your boss’s boss. Congratulations! You’ve found Rock Bottom, where your mom’s book club has started a group chat about your life choices.
