My manager told me to 'optimize my passion' for the company.

But honestly, my only passion right now is optimizing my sleep schedule.

I'm trying to buy a house, but the market is crazy

I've got a better chance of winning the lottery than getting a mortgage with a payment that's less than my student loan

I've been doing the work in therapy to develop a growth mindset

but so far, the only thing that's grown is my therapist's billable hours

I've got so many side hustles,

my main job is starting to feel like a very expensive hobby.
