1. You're suspicious of any "life hack" that contains the phrases "in five minutes" or "in four easy steps."
2. You signed up for Pinterest in a moment of inspiration but then quickly lost interest, so your board is...pretty bare.
3. And, to you, homemaking books and shows are basically speculative fiction.
4. Every time you try to cook, you either end up with a disaster...
5. ...or an actual kitchen fire.
6. (But you're a pro at cereal and PB&J.)
7. You tried knitting, but neither your hands nor the tools were doing what they're SUPPOSED to do.
8. You're often too impatient to give the necessary attention to detail.

9. And sometimes you're not the best at following directions, so you wing it more than you should.
10. When you DO follow directions and it STILL doesn't come out right, your fury knows no bounds.
11. Where you've tried to add whimsy, you've left a trail of nightmares.

12. The finished product maaaaybe tastes good, but it still looks terrifying.
Pinterest fail for the day...
13. So when your friends suggest a dinner party or potluck, you know you'll be bringing something store-bought.
14. You like the *idea* of wearing something you made with your own hands, but when you realized how long that would take you were like, "But I can just buy a sweater?"
15. You dabbled in urban gardening (homegrown basil!) but the plants wilted in a matter of weeks.
16. You've destroyed innumerable items of clothing in your attempts to customize them.
17. If a project requires anything more than, like, scissors and glue, you are at a loss.
18. And you suspect that you shouldn't be trusted with the more advanced tools.

19. You go through phases of picking up new and different hobbies.
20. But this also means that abandoned projects are hidden around your apartment, evidence of your failure.
21. It's not like you're immune to the appeals of DIY life! It's just never really stuck?
