I was trying on evening dresses (as I have my school formal in around 2 months) and 3 people in 1 store complimented my figure and said how pretty I am, and in another store someone else did as well.
I have been eating maccas and high calorie, fatty foods all week.
not sure i'm the right person to talk about this, but i've noticed that people don't take the time to absorb anything.
y'all talk about consuming media and bingeing, and the thing about that is that you're not taking the time to actually absorb what it is you've watched, heard, and/or read. you're all gut reaction at that point, and that definitely shows in all the bad media analysis i've seen.
it's like reacting before you've had time to take stock of a situation. once you've analyzed what's happening, you can make an informed decision on what to do. if you react before you know what's happening, mistakes will be made.
think of school. wasn't all that reviewing so BORING? you already learned it in one lesson! why go over it again?
the answer to that is to understand the material better. same goes w the media you experience. if you take your time watching, listening, and/or reading, you'll be able to understand it better.
i know life is short, but trust me, it's not that short. you can afford to take your time. you live fast and you'll die fast. you'll miss out on things in your hurry.
this is also a contributing factor to why people are so forgetful these days. you're taking in so much information that you're bound to lose things as it makes its way to long term memory. think about it as having limited RAM. your processing power can't handle it, your computer WILL slow down. and the more you force it to work through, the worse that gets. you only have one brain. you can't replace it. (just keep it working. do some puzzles, engage in brain games!)
anyway. slow down. enjoy things, actually digest them. stop bingeing. it's not impressive, it's just being cruel to your brain.
also, for the love of fuck, drink some fucking water!
So...does anyone else rewatch a favourite show for like, the 50th time...and when you're done, you literally just go back and start right from the beginning AGAIN...
