Hey, it's Mentally Chill. It's your host Kristen, Carney, and today you guys are going to be hanging out with me and only me.

And why is that awesome? Because I'm your mother. And who doesn't want to hang out with their mother,

especially when you have one as cool as me.

It's just so crazy. I can't believe that I birthed all of you guys. Like you all came out of me.

Isn't that crazy to think about? That I, like, you sprung from my loins and I think you should

feel really lucky. Welcome to the show. So it's just me today and I, like, you sprung from my loins, and I think you should feel really lucky. Welcome to the show.

So it's just me today, and I am going to be talking about things that I used to love to do

are things that I used to love. And this is because when you're depressed, there's a loss of interest in a lot of stuff and so since it's

just me i thought i would uh really um indulge myself and talk about myself because what else

is there to do in life besides that.

So that's what I'm going to talk about.

But before I do, of course, I'm going to say thank you to all the new sponsors on Patreon.

You guys are badasses.

And there's a bunch of you guys.

I'm so excited by that.

And I feel like this week there was more than last week.

And I got a lot of cool messages. And before I say thanks, like the do the shoutouts.

I actually want to point out how amazing my listeners are. And again, it's so weird to say my listeners. I want to say our listeners, but regardless, it's cool because, you know, as someone who considers themselves quite the

misanthrope, I am always very shocked at how cool you guys are. And I'm like, wow, people aren't just these like empty vessels.

You guys are all really heartfelt and open and sensitive and funny and all of that kind of stuff.

It's so cool.

But I do think it happened, though, because you did spring from my loins.
