Dopamine

Because of these things called phones, those of us born in the digital world have far too large receptors for dopamine.

Miniature computers, larger dopamine receptors.

Harder to get content and joy.

And harder to find it anywhere but online.

Yes, phones can be an escape.

But they are also slowly turning us into robots.

Scrolling on our phones, desperate for dopamine.

Not realizing the very reason we are unhappy is our phones.

  • Freedom

    Freedom is a concept I think about often.

    A concept I don't really understand.

    Yes, we have it.

    But it often feels like we don't.

    How am I supposed to see how free I truly am, when I just feel trapped?

  • Experiences

    Experiences.

    They're a gift all on their own.

    Spending time with friends, laughing and talking about stuff that doesn't even really matter to anyone but us.

    Immersing myself in a world of roleplay, where I'm whoever I want.
