Small new experiences activate the brain’s reward and attention systems, lifting your mood and keeping your mind flexible. Even brief breaks from routine can refresh focus and inspire new ideas. #WriterCommunity

My daughter watched The Exorcist for the first time last night. I told her I never saw the movie because I read the book in like 6th grade & have never recovered 😂. This is what she just texted me:

“The exorcist was fucked up what a wild book that must have been 😭”
