seeing people my age talk about how scared they are of memory loss, which they only associate with old age, is so surreal to see as a 24 year old who has actively experienced memory loss for a long time now

there are causes for memory loss besides dementia and alzheimer’s, i hope y’all know that. dissociative disorders, trauma, brain injuries, thyroid problems, even just stress and lack of sleep can fuck up your ability to store, process, and access memory. and that’s just a few of the many causes i can think of off the top of my head right now.

please stop treating disabled people like some scary “other” that you might become only in the distant, decades-away future. we are your age, too. you may become one of us sooner than you know. stop acting like memory loss marks the end of a life, when so many of us have so much living left to do!

100 days since I deleted social media

Today, April 9th, marks 100 days since I've deleted the last social media app I used for doomscrolling. It was Instagram, I had TikTok deleted a while ago and didnt use other social medias.

I still use Instagram on my browser at times, to check up on things I'm passionate about, but I have not once doomscrolled even on YouTube shorts which I still use and have access to.

Has my life changed?

Yes – slightly – but it has.

· I have much more free time now, obviously

· I now use social media on browsers, and I use it with intent rather than to escape reality

· I read way more, I've already read the amount of books I read last year, and its only the start of April

· I changed useless social media to apps like Pinterest or Tumblr, which I use for growth rather than entertainment

· I've started new hobbies, such as writing, and overall focused more on things I enjoy — piano, history, art, walking

· I'm not behind on trends or slang. I think this is what most people fear, but theres no need to. Sure, I dont know the latest drama between this and that influencer, but do I really need to? And if I did, I could just ask or find out myself, no ones stopping me

· I started being more comfortable with discipline. I redownloaded the apps mutiple times, because it was simply too hard, but one day I sucked it up and held back my urges. I rarely do that.

Thats all for now, thank you for reading ♡

Journaling prompts to reinvent yourself ౨ৎ

how do I want the world to see me, and does it match how I see myself?

how do I show up for others, and how do they show up for me?

what about my life feels like love and what doesn't?

where does my time go, and where do I wish it would go?

who do I admire most, and what about them speaks to my soul?

is the way I live aligned with the life I dream of, or a I just coasting?

what qualities in others feel the most magnetic to me? Do I reflect those?

what’s inside my bag, and what does it say about me? (be honest, even the gum wrappers count.)

if I could script my perfect morning, how would it begin?

what passions have I ignored that I would like to reclaim?

what’s one small, powerful shift I could make today to move toward my dream life?

write a tender letter to the future version of yourself. What do you hope they’ve become, and what do you want them to remember about now?

As always, please feel free to share your own prompts and check out my insta for more of me! <3

I think the most heartbreaking part of all of this is watching it infest your closest relationships in real time. The convenience + hustle culture. Like I’m sorry you can’t watch subway surfers while addressing interpersonal conflict or press a skip button on momentary discomfort. Friction is required for us to grow, and we aren’t entitled to the specific outcomes that we want.

We can’t control or curate our lives to match such dehumanizing speeds. If you want to be heard you need to be patient, and LISTEN. Assess, consider. Process things and not rush to results. Real life is not your FYP page.

Get it together people. Your humanity is on the line.

you don’t realize how bad it is until you start noticing that impatience has become common currency. watching a full 2-hour movie from the comfort of your couch is torture - even a 25-minute series episode is too much. you can’t stand still while waiting for the bus without reaching out for your phone and opening something - any app, even to check the weather for the millionth time that day.

even conversations are suddenly taking too long, and when you look around, you start hearing all these absurd stories of how people are skipping paragraphs while ‘reading’ books because they think descriptions are boring or just ‘need to’ finish faster to reach their reading goals.
