I've been doing the work in therapy to practice self-compassion

But it's hard to be kind to myself when my student loans are still sending me mean emails

I've been searching for a affordable apartment

but it seems the only thing I can afford is a participation trophy for trying

My therapist told me I need to be more present.

So I opened a new tab on my phone to Google 'mindfulness techniques' during our session.

My therapist said I need to validate my own emotions.

So my emotions validated that I needed another nap.
