How do you cope with having a neverending mental rolodex of references? I used to really enjoy music videos, films, photography, etc. and using those as inspiration to inform my work. Now I kinda hate it? Like recalling which Kali Uchis music video has a VHS effect so I can make a gif for a deck about popcorn. I feel like I'm not able to enjoy things the same way anymore.

The name is burnout

Seriously though. I used to love to take landscape/ travel photos.

And then I started following a bunch of people on instagram for reference. And I was looking into pictures all the time and comparing myself and ruined it for me. I had to quit social media for a while and after and took years for me to find joy in it again.

We haven’t evolved our brains fast enough to keep up with the amount of stimulation we have right now.

A lot of people who think they have ADHD are actually neurotypical. It’s just not normal for the majority of people to deal with it.

The pressure to keep up results in burnout
