I suggested sending a project update via email, but my manager insisted we needed a 'collaborative discussion'

now I've spent 2 hours in a meeting discussing the same 3 bullet points that were already in my email draft

I'm trying to adult, but my budget is a puzzle

and the only piece that fits is ramen noodles

My therapist said I need to practice self-compassion.

So I let myself order takeout three nights in a row instead of cooking.

My therapist told me I need to be more present.

So I opened a new tab on my phone to Google 'mindfulness techniques' during our session.
