Day 2: Aggressive zen.
Fuck this noise, I’m going hiking. I’m free. I’m adventurous.
If a badass bitch falls down in the woods and no one is in the whole park, does she make a sound? YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT SHE DOES. I’m going to eat a lotus flower and throw fireballs like I’m fucking Luigi. SERENITY NOW, BITCHESSSSS!
Day 3: Hair as a metaphor.
Should I shave my head?
Day 4: Free agency.
Imma apply for my fucking dream jobs right fucking now. I’m going to write for Conan. Watch me. Broad City, you know you want this. Shoot your shot, right? You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take, right? Why not me?
Oh, fuck. What’s a writing packet? I need an agent for this shit?
Sooooo, actually. Anybody need a project manager?
Day 5: Reliving the moment.
Oh, I’m terminated? No, you’re terminated, ya punk ass bitch.
Day 6: Kanye’s workout plan.
Run and lift and lift and run and get those sit ups right, girl. I’m sure this relentless desire to work out has nothing to do with some incessant need to feel productive, seem purposeful, and achieve excellence. I’M TOTALLY FINE!
Day 7: Snacks on snacks on snacks.
STOP. EATING. TRAIL MIX.
Day 8: The coffee shop dilemma.

Yeah, but you have tea in the house. And it’s way cheaper to stay here.
Yeah, but mental health is invaluable, maaaan.
I hear that, but do you really want to spend $5 on a cup of tea when you currently have no income?
No, I get what you’re saying, but do you really think that $5 will make a difference in my finances over the course of a year or my lifetime?
It’s the principle of the thing, though. Now is not the time to start bad habits.
You’re a real fucking prude, you know that?

A new start, right? Why not take it all the way down to ground level? Bzzzzzzzzzzz?

Day 11: House Haters International.
Man, this place sucks. Maybe I should just take this time off and redo everything. I mean, basically, if I learn how to do all this handyman shit, it will save the same amount of money as if I were working. Maybe I was meant to be a craftsman, anyway. Maybe this is my true calling.
WE USED TO MAKE THINGS IN THIS COUNTRY.

I’d rather walk down the streets of Aleppo than spend another minute in this Home Depot.
I quit this career.

And lo! No lines? I found a secret portal back to Eden.
Day 19: Daily affirmation.
Wow, I haven’t thought of suicide even one time. Seriously. Give myself a round of applause. What an amazing woman. How self-actualized.
