My boss just scheduled a meeting to discuss the agenda for our next meeting,

and honestly, I think my soul just filed its own resignation.

I've been doing the work in therapy to develop healthier coping mechanisms,

but so far my go-to coping mechanism is just telling people I'm doing the work in therapy.

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

which is like telling someone to 'just breathe' while they're drowning in student loans.

My manager told us to 'embrace the chaos' of this quarter.

I'm pretty sure my embrace just gave me emotional whiplash.
