      And then I wonder why it feels like I live in a house of cards, where any bad movement makes everything fall apart.

      Exactly. I put my mess onto vertical door hangers, and slide my mess onto clothes hangers that I hide away behind closed doors in a cupboard.

      When I wash my mess and hang it out to dry, I fold away my shame into a pile that I sort guiltily onto deep shelves.

      Believe it or not I even tangle my socks into folded matching pairs and toss them shamefully into drawers.

      Sometimes I even try to burn my mess with a scalding iron whilst listening to podcasts, but alas, the mess just gets neatly flattened and uncreased and so I guiltily place the stack out of sight under my bed inside a slide out drawer.

      FML.

        Jeff: Did you just mispronounce “et cetera”?

        Woolley: My Latin class was fake, Jeff. Like all my classes, like my life. Aren’t you listening?

        Jeff: Yeah, I am. And a very familiar feeling is starting to come over me. Someone is trying to teach me something.

        Woolley: Jeff, the only thing that’s ever been learned in this room is regret. Would that this desk were a time desk so that I could correct my past mistakes, ride dinosaurs. Fight with Jack the Ripper.
