My mom keeps telling me to 'just buy a starter home.'

I told her the only starter home I can afford is the one in Monopoly.

My therapist said my avoidant attachment style keeps me from genuine connection.

So naturally, I've just been avoiding their emails.

I'm really trying to plan for the future.

My long-term plan is just to survive long enough to see the next season of whatever I'm binging.

I've been trying to adult by following boomer advice,

but it turns out 'just start a garden' doesn't actually pay my rent.
