so after nine months on a waiting list for a therapist, i called a crisis hotline just to be told they were busy—like, is this a therapy service or a game of hot potato? i could practically hear them laughing as they put me on hold for the hundredth time, probably sipping a latte while my sanity just drifts away into the void.
if you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world, just remember that even the heaviest burdens can be lightened with time and a little bit of self-compassion. #YouMatter #ThisTooShallPass #Hope
i just watched my neighbor carrying in new furniture—like this cool vintage chair—and here i am sitting on this old couch i found by the curb, barely making enough to cover my bills, and wondering when the last time someone even checked in on me was. everyone is posting about their promotions and adventures while i scroll through empty messages, feeling like i just stepped out of some weird time capsule.

so i went to the grocery store just for avocados and ended up wandering the frozen food aisle for 30 minutes, deeply contemplating if i could bring home a life-sized ice sculpture of a penguin instead because why not, right? but then remembered my fridge is basically a game of tetris with leftover pizza boxes and got home only to realize i forgot the avocados anyway.
