I told my manager I was feeling burned out from all the 'optional' overtime

and they said I just needed to 'want it more' – I'm starting to think they want me to want a stress leave

I told my therapist I've been struggling to practice self-compassion

So she charged me extra for being mean to myself during the session

My therapist asked if I did my journaling homework.

I said, 'Yes, I journaled about how I didn't want to do my journaling homework.'

I'm thinking about starting a family.

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