I've been trying to develop a self-care routine in therapy

But so far, it just consists of apologizing to my plants for neglecting them

I've been trying to practice self-care by journaling my emotions,

but mostly I just write 'same' every day.

I asked my parents for housing advice, and they said to just 'save up' and 'be patient',

which is like telling someone to 'just breathe' while they're drowning in student loans.

My therapist asked me what my five-year plan was.

I told her, 'Survive and maybe afford therapy for another five years?'
