Losing them to the suburbs! And making some great friends in clients that have now been with me for some time

I tell my homies ill see them later. That's the price I gotta pay now to be living later.

I thought it was just me!!! I’m glad I’m not the only one going through this

How do I make new friends with people who work just as much as I do and won’t give me shit about it?

I am in my 20s and broke I could never be totally honest with them I’d be embarrassed for them to know my real financial situation

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.
