Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.
If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.
Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.
That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.
Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.
You absolutely have to become okay with not being liked. No matter how loving or kind you are, you will never people please your way in to collective acceptance. You could be a whole ray of sunshine and people will hate you because they’re used to rain. Be okay with shining regardless.

You deserve someone who never stops trying to show you how much you mean to them, even after they have you.
women in our 20s, now more than ever remember: fear is the mind-killer, but even that is something you can sit with & metabolize as fuel
