My therapist encouraged me to find healthy ways to self-soothe.

So I started color-coding my anxiety spreadsheet.

I've got so many side hustles,

my main job is starting to feel like a very expensive hobby.

My boomer parents told me the secret to success was to 'pull myself up by my bootstraps.'

I'm still trying to find a pair of boots I can afford.

My boss told us 'we're a family here,'

which is why I'm always guilt-tripped into doing extra work and can never afford to move out.
