Sometimes you need a little scrolling break. Yes, we know it’s not amazing for our brains. We don’t care. We do stuff that’s bad for our brains all the time and we’ve managed this long. It’s all a negotiation. Being alive is so hard that we have to give ourselves breaks every now and again. We know sugar isn’t great for us but heck if I don’t need a muffin in the morning sometimes.
We know that we probably shouldn’t binge-eat salt and vinegar chips while scrolling through our old texts with lost friends and lovers, but we do it anyway. We know that looking at our phones too much is not a great idea, but bro. We need a meme break every now and again. We’re only human. We need our little treats to get us through the day. We need some stupid stuff to take our minds off of being smart.
