When we don’t do what we’re built to, we start breaking.

This goes for bodies and it goes for minds.

All sorts of systems fold in on themselves. Circuits blow, synapses misfire and new patterns form. Holding patterns instead of flight patterns. Defense mechanisms align. Rube Goldberg/ MC Escher makeout parties happen in our souls.

When we aren’t ourselves we’re someone else suckier. We’re us on a bad day, every day. We’re a shadow. We’re a hologram.

And we aren’t even shiny.

Here's to doing what we're built to, most of the time!
