You always told me that we were going to last forever, and trust me I knew that there was a slim chance. I had continuous doubts. But you got me to have hope, to believe in you, to believe in us. You built me up, you made me feel strong and on top of the world, and then you left. You left me, broken and disappointed. And maybe one day, you’ll find your way back to me. Maybe one day, we can fulfill the prophecy we made for ourselves. But that’s a big maybe, because you left me.

Earthquake
When I was younger, I always thought life was stable, that I was different because mine was unstable, because I’m unstable. I always have been and I always will be. I’ve tried so hard to accept the fact that I’ll always be atypical. But there are times where I want nothing more to be normal, to fit in with everyone else. I don’t think anyone understands that I’m the outsider. So I try to get involved, I try to stick to the status quo, I try to be typical, because that’s how I’ve always viewed stability. Every time I start to feel normal, it doesn’t last. The moment I start to think I know where I stand, the ground shifts beneath my feet.

What Happens To Your Brain When You Stop Multitasking
Digital technology is the culprit that is causing us to doom scroll when tired, disengaged and unmotivated with the content that motivated you to log onto your device to consume in the first place. That is only the beginning. In the modern workplace (and even when filing cabinets were around, I confirmed this with my adopted parents to get my facts right); reading files while you are supposed to be present to the caller on the other end of the phone line is another classic example of multitasking that causes your brain (although adaptable and intelligent) to lose focus and concentration.
