Confessions of a Laundry Philosopher
There I was, knee-deep in a mountain range of mismatched socks, when it hit me: laundry is basically a metaphor for life. Okay, maybe not basically. But still! The whole cycle of dirty to clean, inside out to right side in, wrinkled mess to neatly folded stack? It’s strangely profound when you’re elbow-deep in a delicates bag.

- And finally, the surrender. That moment when you accept that you’ll be living out of a laundry basket for the next three days because, let’s be honest, ain’t nobody got time for that.
