from black to grey

I told myself I wouldn't cry this time
But I can't hold the tears
Passersby watching me
As I get off the train, bawling

This time it feels more real than before
Like I can truly let myself free
No more restrictions
No longer holding on to a past me

I feel more awake now
These emotions more controlled
Maybe it's an illusion
But it feels real for now

I don't mind really
I don't need to hold onto past shit
that have wilted way
Growth in opposing directions

I've always been growing
Heading towards light in some twisted way
I might have rough days
But it just.. feels right

I'd rather be true on my own
Than fake in a crowd
That's where I find security
Till I can find someway out

I keep waiting for a text
Always seeking for connection
I'm human after all
It's what we're wired to do

The disappointment that comes
from these reliances
These expectations for more
But none will be enough

I have closure now
To a past, a chapter to cclose
I might meet characters from back then
But they're no longer the main role

Before, we used to be opposite sides to a coin
But now I'm a different currency

The pain of pulling away
The liberation from binding arms
Isolation comes at a cost
The reward of authenticity

I've been running in circles
Seeking validation for my actions
But now...
it's the pure joy of trusting
And following my intuition
I know I'll be okay
That this pain all will fade
And serenity remains.

departure

Maybe its meant to be The passing of time Seems to let us free Makes us more carefree Farewell to a friend Hoping for the best That in some other world This journey won't end But long paved roads Take hours to walk down A dragging trip Complacence is found If we can refresh The origin of our motives Healthy company In each other, we'll notice.

Is there an emotional brain? (arguments against)

The limbic system has been commonly referred to in scientific literature as the emotional brain. But we know now with more information and advanced technologies that the limbic system is an ambiguous concept, it is what LeDoux says is just a “useful anatomical shorthand”. One evidence that challenges this theory is that areas that are considered unique to mammals (therefore termed the “mammalian brain”) is also present in ‘primitive’ creatures such as reptiles and amphibians. For example, a study conducted by Gilles Laurent and colleagues in 2018 using single cell RNA-sequencing technology showed that the neurons of the pallium of reptiles had similar genetic makeup to that of the hippocampus and amygdala of mouse and humans! These areas are what MacLean included in the limbic system theory, yet they are present in these ‘lower’ animals. Moreover, the same study showed that the anterior dorsal cortex of the pallium in reptiles was similar to the human neocortex, which is a layer ...

no holidays

i used to think of holidays as this getaway period of time when the world would let me take a break from everything. But really, its never like that. We never really get away from it.  This can’t be taken purely negatively or positively. It’s just the reality.  We can take our breaks and let our bodies rest, but the things in life never really stop.  Perhaps creating a daily ritual and habit, a consistency in activity, that doesn’t require escape is the most ideal option.  Life does not purely consist of the programs that external influences put on us. They’re merely there to keep us on track.  So even on ‘holiday times’, its important to keep a steady pace and rhythmicity to what you are doing, every day aligning with your goals. Do not let the world command when your break is. You decide that for yourself.  Ofcourse you can have vacations, and days off when you reset and rethink about the core of what it is that you are doing. But these mo...
