Hope is just my dopamine pretending to be spiritual. 🙏
Stress hormones make you alert, then destroy your memory.
Gotta love the irony.

A truly visionary design flaw. Anxiety: when your brain overachieves at survival.
The world keeps spinning, but your clock forgets how.
Nothing burns, nothing blooms — just static and sand.

The amygdala stores panic like fine wine - aging every year, growing more complex.
Neuroplasticity means you can change.

My nervous system said “growth,” and I said “not again.”
Neurons fire in patterns that mirror constellations.
The universe recycles its architecture.
Got emotional about a sandwich. Again.
CBT teaches thought replacement.
Basically, mental whack-a-mole.
I’m not dramatic — it’s just a hormone symphony with bad lighting.
Some days I’m the ghost.
Some days I’m the haunting.
👻
People say I’m intense.
It's called it precision living, Richard.
My empathy is huge; my filter is nonexistent.
