Writing following Hormesis/stress
After showering, I usually feel more relaxed, calm, and my thoughts would make more sense. I feel like shower thoughts are always deep and personal. It’s something that everyone has while showering because there isn’t anything else better to focus on. For me, I take a lot of time to reflect and, sometime, stress about the smallest things. I was stressed about work and then thought about how they got stricter with the rules. But then after the shower I just feel relieved. My writing went quickly and smoothly because my thoughts felt collected and overall, I was able to focus better. This reminds me of how I always think about the day I had before I go to sleep because retracing the things I did helps me wind down just like how thinking about every and anything in the shower clears my mind.

“My regrets look just like texts I shouldn’t send And I got neighbors, they’re more like strangers We could be friends I just need a way out Of my head I’ll do anything for a way out Of my head” – Come Back To Earth by Mac Miller
”I heard that you’re happy without me And I hope it’s true (I hope, I hope it’s true) It kills me a little, that’s okay ‘Cause I’d die for you You know I’d still die for you” – Die For You by Joji
“I gave it all for a fantasy Is anybody gon’ remember me? If I go tonight, I doubt the world’ll change I just pray they don’t forget my name” – Clouded by Brent Faiyaz
“I just wanna stay in the world we created I just wanna sink in the plans that we makin’ When I leave I’m not lookin’ for a replacement for what I got I need you to trust and believe when I say this Ain’t nothing or nobody that’s ever gonna break us Not lookin’ for situations I ain’t forgot” – World We Created by Giveon
For this writing I chose a few of my recent favorite songs to copy out the lyrics because I feel like I resonate with some of these a lot and it just brings out emotions in me. I tend to be anxious and overthink a lot of things in my life so to be able to listen to these songs and really look into it more made me calm down. Currently while writing this, I notice that I am typing at a fast pace and to the beat of the song I am listening to which is “World We Created” by Giveon. My thoughts are a bit scrambled and over the place though because listening to these songs have made me think about a multitude of different things and those thoughts just keep circling in my head.
