I asked my parents for housing advice, and they said to just 'save up' and 'be patient'

which is easy to say when your mortgage is paid off and avocado toast was 50 cents

I've been doing the work in therapy to recognize my emotional triggers

now I can identify the exact moment I'm about to send a drunk text

My therapist told me I need to find healthy coping mechanisms.

My current one is just doomscrolling Zillow listings I can't afford.

My bank told me I qualify for a mortgage.

I laughed so hard my avocado toast fell.
