0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Mentally Chill podcast. It's Kristen Carney, your host,
0:05.0	your friend, your lover. You just don't know it yet. I have so much anxiety today. I just want to
0:12.8	get that out of the way. I have insane amounts because my dad arrives tomorrow to drive me back
0:20.0	to the East Coast after a decade on the West Coast.
0:24.3	And I don't really feel sad.
0:26.7	I guess I just feel more bum that I'm going to be back on the East Coast just this time with some lines in my face.
0:33.7	I don't know.
0:34.6	I guess I have a sense of disappointment.
0:36.3	But really, I think I just, I want to get this over with. And I don't really mean this as in the trip. I just kind of mean life. Like I don't want it to end. I really don't. But I just, I want to have already done it. I want to be in my cozy bed as an old 89 yearold woman, annoying my grandchildren with stories about Instagram
0:55.4	and Twitter and how I'm so glad that they've been wiped out because there was an atomic

1:06.4	being, I'm trying to stay calm. But with the amount of anxiety that I've had, you would think that I was
1:13.3	standing at the edge of Satan's door, which has made a very good wood, by the way, but I don't know how
1:18.7	it withstands the heat. It probably has some flame retardant paint or something. But it's like I'm standing at
1:23.5	his door and he's waving me in saying, hey, sorry, Karn, the time's up. You got to come in now.
1:29.4	At least Satan's company. I won't be alone anymore. Maybe that's a good thing. But I think the
1:34.4	reason I'm feeling this crazy end of the world feeling is because it is the end of the world.
1:40.3	I came to L.A. and I put my future in this place and then my future didn't feel like it was
1:47.0	here anymore. So it's a weird feeling. It's not a great feeling. But I also think I'm feeling this
1:51.6	way because I've procrastinated a good amount, which is not surprising. So this whole week,
1:58.0	I have been recording like two podcasts a day, which is, that's a lot of
2:03.9	talking and a lot of words.
