✨ Confessions: The Reality Show Next Door - Part Two

Confession: every night, when I am in my working in my kitchen — bam — I’m treated to a full view of my neighbors’ kitchen. Their lights blaze, no curtains, and suddenly I know way more about their dinner routine than I ever wanted. It’s like I ordered takeout and got a side of live entertainment. 

Here’s the thing: part of me wants to give them a taste of their own medicine. Flip on my kitchen light, whip up a bowl of cereal with dramatic flair, maybe even do a little dance with the dogs while the dishwasher hums. Let them wonder if I realize I’m on display. Maybe then they’ll finally think, “Oh, so this is what it looks like!”

But let’s be honest — they’d probably just carry on like normal, while I’m over here fuming into my salad. They don’t even notice they’re putting on a nightly broadcast. And me? I’m stuck wondering if blackout curtains are cheaper than therapy.

So, I’ll confess: I might never follow through with my grand performance art. But the idea of lighting up my kitchen like a Broadway stage and making them the audience for once? Oh, that thought alone keeps me entertained during dinner.
