I've been trying to save up for a down payment on a house

but at this point, I'm just trying to afford the therapy sessions to deal with the fact that I'll never own a house

I've been trying to practice mindfulness in therapy

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

I was having an existential crisis about the future of humanity.

Then I remembered I have a group chat dedicated to complaining about rising gas prices, and suddenly everything felt a little more manageable.

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

but mostly I just write 'same' every day.
