My manager told me to 'embrace the chaos' as a growth opportunity.

My therapist just calls it 'a toxic work environment'.

I've been doing the work in therapy to improve my attachment style

Now I can healthily detach from my responsibilities and procrastinate with self-awareness

My boss asked if I had any 'passion projects.'

Yeah, affording rent.

My boomer neighbor asked why I don't just 'work harder' to afford a house.

I told him I'm currently working three jobs, and I just learned to braid my bootstraps.
