The Time I Questioned the Fabric of Reality (While Folding Fitted Sheets)
Let’s be honest, folding fitted sheets is less of a chore and more of a cosmic joke. It was during one such wrestling match with a particularly stubborn sheet that I started pondering: What even is reality, man? Like, we spend all this time trying to impose order on chaos – folding clothes, cleaning dishes, organizing our sock drawers (okay, maybe that’s just me) – but isn’t it all just going to get messed up again? Is the universe some kind of giant, never-ending laundry cycle? And if so, do we even have free will, or are we all just tumbling along, hoping not to get shrunk in the dryer of life?
Life Lessons from the Lint Trap: Finding Meaning in the Mundane
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but I’m convinced the lint trap is the window to our inner selves.

It’s a reminder that we’re constantly changing, evolving, leaving bits of ourselves behind. And just like we clean out the lint trap, maybe we need to clean out the negativity, the self-doubt, all the metaphorical lint that’s clogging up our lives.
