22 Work Tweets From People Who Simmer In Anxiety Instead Of Relaxing
Relaxing sounds simple in theory, but somewhere between adulthood and a full-time job, it became a whole production. You’re supposed to unplug and take a deep breath, but your brain never actually got the memo.
Instead, you end up doing the thing where you’re technically off the clock but still running through everything that could go wrong tomorrow, which isn’t relaxing so much as anxiety with better lighting. Work has a way of following people home even when they physically leave it behind.
These tweets know the struggle, funny because every single person reading them has lived it firsthand.
