    Ja ja I know. “What the fuck has happened to Though Catalog?” “This is the ridiculous/shit/random”. But so what? Thought Catalog is just a site where people can share their thoughts. THOUGHT = CATALOG. Geddit?
    So shut up and submit something.

      “Relevant and Relatable”

      According to that thought, we’re all sitting on the toilet, heartbroken, and having quarter-life-crises.

      PS: I feel like Thought Catalog is Livejournal for the new generation. Except everyone posts their woes in the same place, since the new youngin’s were raised in the social network age. They be ready to put their angsty hearts on display!

    Sometimes, I read Russian literature on the toilet. Helps me get in the right mood.

    But mostly, I just pray and swear I’m never going to drink again.

    Huh, I’m reading this while on the toilet. And number 11 I ponder often. I mean how does she do that? Is one sheet the size of a bedsheet maybe? Is she an alien?
