immediately after ejaculation your brain releases a massive surge of prolactin. this is the hormone that makes you want to roll over and sleep. it's also the hormone that kills your drive for the next 24 to 72 hours.
prolactin directly suppresses dopamine. dopamine is motivation, drive, focus, and the feeling that you want to build something. prolactin turns it off like a switch.
this is why you feel unmotivated the day after release. it's not psychological. it's biochemical. your brain is sitting in a prolactin bath that is actively suppressing the neurochemistry of ambition.
in women prolactin serves a purpose. it facilitates bonding and nursing. in men after ejaculation it serves one purpose: shut everything down. rest. recover. do nothing.
the refractory period isn't just sexual. it's motivational. it's creative. it's cognitive. your entire system enters a low-power mode designed to conserve energy after reproduction.
every time you release you are chemically inducing a 24 to 72 hour motivation blackout. most men do this every 1 or 2 days and wonder why they can't focus long enough to build anything meaningful.
Social media algorithms are DEMONS feeding off your attention. They’re 24/7 studying your patterns and manipulating your behaviour so you can’t stop scrolling. Your focus is being stolen by an infinite slop machine that puts you into a hypnotic trance of mind numbing. Days blur together. You’ve forgotten your soul. They’re hijacking your identity and turning you into slop in human form. You can’t stop shaking your hands when you hear 67. You’re losing your soul, time and life. When you aren’t being hypnotised, you’re filled with anxiety and dread (YOU’RE LITERALLY ADDICTED). Your natural reward system (DOPAMINE) has been HACKED. If you have the COURAGE to move through the dread. You’ll see the glimmer of your soul. The Jewel lying in the ground. Shining BRIGHTLY. Stop filling your ground (MIND) up with slop (BRAINROT). The slop drains out by itself if you stop consuming it. The Jewel (YOUR SOUL) lies in there in all it’s beauty and you see that it’s the oracle reflecting your dreams. LIVE MY FRIENDS. Attention is the most valuable thing we have. Stop allowing yourself to be FARMED by slop factories. The greatest time in history is among us. Make the most of your reason and CREATE what is most beautiful to you.
Wimwaro FM in Embu football commentator Njeru KK goes viral after a video of him commentating the Brazil Vs Japan FIFA World Cup match surfaces online.
I like the energy and passion in him.
There are times when you’re not asking for happiness, or even success—you just want a break from feeling overwhelmed, a break from constantly carrying emotional weight, a break from feeling tired all the time.
Unlearn shame. All kinds of shame: abuse, unemployment, sickness, vulnerability, longing, desire, mistakes, failures. You need not be ashamed of what you're feeling or living. Freedom and shame cannot coexist.
You are literally standing on a planet that grows peaches.
PEACHES.
Not to mention cucumbers, strawberries, kale, apples, blueberries, and DRAGONFRUIT.
Out of dirt.
I cannot stress this enough.
DIRT.
A lot of emotional confusion comes from assuming your feelings are evidence. They are often only reactions to incomplete information, old wounds, or familiar scripts. You feel urgency and call it truth, feel attachment and call it destiny, feel shame and call it morality. Emotion needs interpretation, not worship.
