An art gallery, with multiple framed canvases, each containing quotes in a stark, sans serif font, all caps: "I DON'T KNOW IF i WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE" "BUT I HAVE NO MARKETABLE SKILLS" "I STUDY FOR THE LSAT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT, LIKE, COME ON, I'M TOO OLD TO SWITCH CAREERS NOW" "I'M SO SCARED" Small groups of people, holding drinks, wander around the room and stare emptily at the canvases. In the foreground, a bald man says to an older man with a beard: "I try to tell a story with my art." Cartoon by Asher Perlman

Started off the morning by spilling coffee all over my notebook.
A crinkled page from a small journaling notebook with a large coffee stain. The words "NO, *YOU* HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM" are written on it in block letters.
