I just got a raise, but it's all relative

because now I can afford ramen noodles twice a week instead of once

My boomer neighbor told me to 'invest in real estate.'

So I bought three new houseplants.

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

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

I've been trying to practice mindfulness in therapy

but I keep finding myself pondering existential dread during meditation instead of my breath
