8:35 Feeling like you're crazy, masking, you're not alone
9:27 Coming to terms with my age and figuring out who I am
11:15 Cosplaying as an adult during my '20s
12:11 Realizing that no one knows how to "adult"
13:34 I did "all the right things" and still can barely afford to live on my own, there's nothing wrong with living with family, feeling like a fraud/loser/failure
15:31 Constantly feeling guilty for just...existing lmao/Miss Independent
17:42 Adulting sucks but you'll learn how to adapt
18:25 There's always support - don't be afraid to ask for help or accept it/memorable Uncle Phil moment

28:33 Being a human is the biggest blessing and the biggest curse. Can I just be a bird for a day?

33:54 You are not a bad person for logging off and tuning out
35:41 Sometimes it's okay to pretend it's still the '90s
38:20 What's keeping me alive right now? Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Seriously.
