Why is the internet obsessed with Punch?
Punch-kun, the baby monkey in a zoo in Japan, has become an internet sensation. Constantly found dragging around his emotional support orangutan plushie, running from older monkies that bully him. Well, update, he’s got a girlfriend now. And they look adorable. But, I still remember when everywhere i went on Insta, Punch was there. And so many hearts breaking for him in the comments, and views. But why? What is so emotionally drawing about Punch’s situation, besides the fact that his cute bullied self invokes the urge in most of us to protect him fiercely? Let’s be for real. One of the major reasons we love Punch is because we’ve…

Hacking the dopamine cycle
This post is for anyone who ends up scrolling or resorting to another bad habit instead of working when the work is too stressful, boring, or much. Im going to explain whats going on in your head when you do that (in context to procrastinating a task), and how to hack the cycle in order to get things done without feeling like shit doing it. High achievers, perfectionists, and highly motivated people struggle with procrastination. Sounds like a lie, but it isn’t, because procrastination comes from a source of discomfort that comes from caring too much. ->a source of discomfort causes stress; causing the release of cortisol which induces a…

Not My Mind (Part 1)
The fan hummed in mockery as logarithmic functions bounced off the walls. Most of the kids in Avery’s class had their heads down, the teacher didn’t seem to mind. Avery sat at the back, his hands shoved into his hoodie’s pockets, and his foot shaking with the beating of the clock on the wall. He sweated under the hoodie, but he didn’t seem to mind as he tugged at it gently to cool himself off. That’s when he saw the writing on the wall. Too tiny to be noticed, too red…to not? “Tonight is the night.” The words on the wall, right above the whiteboard, whispered to him. *** The…

People and their (our) problems (with them)
Something I’ve realized is, you cannot change people. You cannot force them to grow, the same way you cannot hold them back when they do. Constantly telling a woman who isn’t ready to chase her dreams that she should be is the same as reprimanding an independent woman for grinding in the office everyday Asking a friend who cannot read the room or register your emotions to be there for you is the same as telling a deep friend to keep it light. Telling a fun parent to be harder on their child is the same as telling an overprotective one to let go more. And yet, we continue to…
