This week’s Bathroom Break is for every teacher who’s tired of pretending they wake up bursting with passion every morning. (Spoiler: nobody does.)

In this short, honest pep talk, Oliver reminds us that passion doesn’t have to be constant to be real — and that showing up, even when the spark’s dim, still counts. Teaching is a long game, not a daily performance of enthusiasm.

If you’ve been feeling guilty for coasting on autopilot some days, this one’s your permission slip to breathe, reset, and celebrate the fact that you’re still here — and still doing the work that matters.
