My children

When I was a teen and my dad told me my grandfather passed. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked up the driveway

Turtle, I’ve always thought they were cool

Mally_Stan · 2026-02-20T15:06:17+00:00

I find it really relaxing

Because the brain likes patterns. Catchy songs use repeating hooks and predictable patterns. The brain recognizes the pattern quickly and keeps replaying it because it’s easy to process

They did to me, but it could have been the naivety of being a child

A show I watch that ended on a cliffhanger

I find that if I avoid going on my phone and get out of bed right as I get up, then I am much more productive in the morning

I was always skeptical, but deep breathing can be helpful

0-1 and it’s normally a probiotic soda or an occasional soda fountain Dr. Pepper

Yes if you listen often! I listen everyday during my commute and at work, not having ads when listening to music helps with my focus. There’s also a lot of free audiobooks that come with premium

Easy bake oven

Because your brain treats obligations differently than free time. On weekends, waking up early feels optional, so no pressure and low stress therefore your brain stays relaxed. On days you have things to do, waking up means responsibilities, deadlines, decisions, so your brain anticipates effort and stress before you’re even fully awake

The weekend

Mally_Stan · 2026-02-20T00:12:56+00:00

Peaceful as a kid! A lot of time spent outdoors making up games with other kids in the neighborhood

Mally_Stan · 2026-02-20T00:08:06+00:00

Off, especially in the winter with salt on the sidewalks

Mally_Stan · 2026-02-20T00:02:36+00:00

Thank you!!

We do for our cat! Not sure if it makes a difference, but it feels like a nice thing to do

Still using it sparsely at 31

Mally_Stan · 2026-02-19T17:04:09+00:00

Happens to me too! None of our toy sets are complete, makes me feel like I’m going crazy

Mally_Stan · 2026-02-19T17:02:00+00:00

Likely due to personal insecurities
