the footnote
years

let me set the scene for you: i'm 8 years old and my mother is getting me ready for school. every morning, she puts my hair in two braids so it doesn't end up a frizzy mess by the end of the day...

i feel like every time i'm in a rut or depressed or just out of it, i try to watch a bunch of motivational videos like "10 Ways to Be Productive" or "Glow Up Your Life." i feel motivated for maybe 10 minutes then i'm back in bed doom scrolling for the rest of the day...
