We Need To Slow Down A Little I'm So Serious. All These Quick Short Videos On Tiktok, Ig Reels, And Youtube,

My brain: Hey, hey, hey!!! So I’ve got this AMAZING new story idea. There are, like, these awesome characters, and I’ve already got their tragic backstories and, like, two scenes plotted out, and I even know that one of them wears a purple shirt on page eighty two. WANNA WRITE IT?

Me, pulling out my laptop: Yeah, yeah! Do you have anything else? What are their names? What’s the conflict? And the plot??

My brain:

you know when someone writes a fic and it’s just SO GOOD and you’re wondering how they came up with the idea because it literally ignites your soul and is everything you wanted in a fic aND MORE and you just sigh to yourself because people are fucking fantastic ok

Students: We have to wake up early in the morning just so we can get to school on time, we also receive too much homework, we don't even have time to develop our passions. School is too demanding, making us feel anxious or depressed. We're literally having mental breakdowns every single day because we feel like we're not enough.

Adults: Hm, yes, but... Have you tried spending fewer time on the internet?

Weight loss with a side of no one likes me anymore because I’m so snappy due to the fact I don’t eat

did you ever doubt your dream will ever come true?

Why Instagram, why? I am 100% sure I will just try to do that every fucking day to lose weight which I physically can't.

Fuck my anorexic ass.
