Do you ever just feel like a real-life, adult, living version of Goldilocks? If so, you aren’t alone. It seems like — lately, more than ever — we’re all living in a state of extremes, with too little of some things and, alternatively, way too much of others. From stressing over the state of finances, to wishing you could pose a moratorium on sex, to wondering where in the hell that smell is coming from… it’s all about the things in our lives that we want to either lean into or lean TF out of.
At least, that seems to be the prevailing theme in this week’s roundup of secret admissions from the Confessional. Are you feeling all Goldilocks-ed out lately, too? Waiting for the day when things will feel “just right” again? Read on to find your people.
