I just got advice from a boomer to 'just buy a smaller house'

like a studio apartment in a desirable neighborhood is just a Honda Civic with a Murphy bed

I'm at the point where I'm considering a side hustle

but the only thing I can sell is my plasma, and even that's not getting a good price on the market

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'm thinking about starting a family.

But then I remember climate change, and I just buy another houseplant.
