Today and all weekends, I haven’t wanted to read or write about atomic habits. Why? Because apparently when you’re calm and are in flow, your brain puts you at a full fucking halt and goes “Hey remember this bullshit that happened 20 years ago?! Let’s unpack it!”

Apparently in psychology, there’s this thing where your brain will shield you from a memory when you can’t handle it, but open up the floodgate when it feels safe to process. Thanks I guess…? I’m talking about shit that wasn’t even on your radar anymore. Yours brain has to make space before it can move forward. Like lemme cough up this bullshit first.

I guess the only good thing I’ll say, is thank you brain for not doing this when I was getting sober. I couldn’t have handled this then.
