i brush twice a day without fail, but if i'm being completely honest, flossing is the one habit i can never seem to stick with. every time i go to the dentist, they ask if i've been flossing, and i always say "i'm trying," even though i know i've skipped way more days than i've actually done it. i even bought those floss picks because i thought they'd make it easier, but after a week they just ended up sitting in the bathroom untouched. my partner somehow remembers to floss every single night, which makes me wonder if i'm just lazy or if most people quietly skip it too. i keep seeing people online saying they floss every day, but i honestly have a hard time believing everyone is that consistent. is it just me, or do a lot of people secretly skip flossing and only admit it when they're anonymous?

I'm 25 and lately it feels like everyone around me has their life planned out except me. Every time I check social media, someone is starting a new career, getting engaged, or hitting some big milestone. I know people only post the good parts, but it's still hard not to compare sometimes. For those who are past that stage, what did you spend way too much energy worrying about that ended up not mattering nearly as much as you thought?
