My therapy dog needs therapy

At this point, we should be able to accept that therapy is a net positive for humanity. While it's not necessary for everyone, it's an incredible resource for many individuals. I've seen a lot of people decry it as some sort of scam for weak-minded people throughout my life. Sure, not every therapist is incredible. From my experience, it's actually pretty tough to find the right one. Once you do, it's an incredibly cathartic and building experience. It's not pseudo-science; nobody is rubbing es…

It's 2023, and pretty much anyone with eyes or ears is well-aware that therapy helps people.

You have no idea how long it will last or how bad it will be. All you know is that it's an incredibly awful burden. One that affects every part of your life. But that's the thing about de…

I’m a dog person. I grew up with dogs, all of my roommates have had dogs, and I’ve been a side hustle dog walker for about four years now. Love everything about them. If I’m going to have a pet it’s going to be either a smart creature I get to spend time with or something that requires near-zero maintenance that functions more as apartment decoration. Dogs are objectively the best pet if you’re willing to put in the time and maintenance. They’re sweet, smart, funny, and loveable. They’ll get yo…

WE REHEARSED THIS

How do we un-evolve?

Am I the drama?

The future (of depression) is now
