Something I've learned as I've grown older is that your friend group can normalize almost anything.
Drinking too much, spending too much, working too much, complaining too much.

The older I get, the more I realize anxiety comes from trying to live in two places at once. Replaying yesterday. Rehearsing tomorrow. All while trying to live right now. It's exhausting. Come back to the present. Handle the two feel right in front of you. You don't need to fix
Animals live in the actual world. Humans live in a conceptual overlay, a dream we mistake for reality. We are blind drunk on symbols and stories, reacting to our own interpretations, not to what is actually happening.

Truly the best of all possible worlds.
