when i was #likethis i thought i was being so clever by overprotecting myself. i convinced myself that my decision to stay away from complexity and pain was not my insecurities but me being so so smart. and it made me a worse person, especially a bad friend and it made me lonely
“I Want Your Sex” director Gregg Araki says he’s seen the reports of Gen Z having less sex -- and he thinks younger people will “regret” not taking chances and “risking getting hurt”:
“I’m in my 60s now. You’re gonna turn around and you’re going to be 40, 50 like that. Will you regret not taking a chance, venturing out of your house, risking getting hurt, getting confused, getting your heart broken? Go out on a bad date, have that bad relationship, have that bad girlfriend. Be in love with the wrong person. That’s fucking life! That’s growing up! That’s how you learn about yourself.”

Not a single productive thing here, no books, no films (stretch), not a single creative hobby like writing or painting, not even a basic task based hobby like gardening. Just replacing "brainrot, 2026" with "brainrot, 2004"
