Ugh, my head is pounding. I feel terrible.

What's wrong?
human
I'm hungover from last night. And my throat hurts from smoking.
gpt
Why do you keep doing that to yourself? You know it's bad for you.
human
I know, I know. But sometimes I just feel like I need to escape. And smoking and drinking help me do that.
gpt
Well, maybe you should try finding healthier ways to cope with stress. Like exercise or meditation.
human
Yeah, maybe you're right. I just feel so stuck in my life, you know?
gpt
What do you mean?
human
I don't know. I guess I just feel like I'm not living up to my potential. Like I should be doing something more meaningful with my life.
gpt
Is this about the move to the city again?
human
Partly, I guess. I just feel like there's so much more out there than this small town. And I don't want to waste my life never experiencing it.
gpt
I understand that, but moving to the city won't solve all your problems. You have to be happy with yourself and your life, no matter where you are.
human
You're right. I just need to figure out what that means for me. And maybe find some healthier ways to cope with stress in the meantime.
gpt
Absolutely. We'll figure it out together.
