    Prepare to feel all the feels

    Words – Angelica Florio

    Some days are just downright terrible and the only remedy for them is to go to sleep and hope that tomorrow is better. Selma Blair had one of those days and she candidly expressed herself on Instagram in a way that had us thinking: stars, they’re just like us. Read about her terrible day and feel your sympathy because lately there has been a lot of bad news and we all can relate to Ms. Blair.

    The chronicle of Blair’s no-good-very-bad day begins with the realization of everyone’s greatest fear: driving away from the gas station with the nozzle attached to her car. She laments: 'Ok. So my head is still pounding. I drove away from a gas pump with the nozzle still in.'

    Causing us to be like:

    Blair continues, saying: 'I was chastised for wearing fur but that was weird cause it was teddy bear fur.

    'And then I paid for the broken pump so that was over a 500 dollar tank of gas. Felt awful for being so absent minded.'

    And we say to that, we know what that's like, girl.

    She then finishes her sad tale with: 'Then I burst into tears in front of barista after ordering and made everyone uncomfortable. Still crying. And I ran out of dog food. And excedrin. Can I have someone say this will pass?'

    Yes, Selma, you take that pass. You feel your feelings and let it all out.

    For total transparency, she posted a video of herself crying with her caption story and we totally feel her distress.

    Feel better, Selma. We hope that 2017 gets better for everyone!
