Let’s get one thing straight:
Your brain isn’t a wise monk sitting on a mountain handing out profound truths.
It’s a noisy roommate with commitment issues — loud, dramatic, messy, always interrupting you at the worst possible time, and wrong at least 50% of the time.
But because it lives in your skull, you assume it’s smart.
Bless your heart.
Your brain is not a philosopher.
It’s a gossip queen with anxiety.
It reacts fast, thinks slow, exaggerates everything, and will happily ruin your entire afternoon over a thought that wasn’t even accurate to begin with.
You’re over here treating every random thought like a divine message when in reality it’s just mental spam.
Your mind at 2am:
“Let’s revisit that embarrassing thing you said in 2017.”
Your mind at 2pm:
“Let’s imagine 12 worst-case scenarios about something that hasn’t even happened yet.”
Deep?
No.
Dramatic little chaos goblin? Absolutely.
And don’t even get me started on how confidently wrong your brain can be.
It creates entire stories out of half-information.
It assumes intentions that don’t exist.
It predicts disasters with the confidence of a psychic on crack.
It convinces you you’re doomed because someone used a slightly different emoji today.
And you just… believe it.
Like it’s credible.
Like it’s CNN for your feelings.
Here’s the unfiltered truth:
Your brain is trying to protect you.
That’s the root of the chaos.
Every dramatic thought, every “oh god what if,” every sudden emotional meltdown is your brain trying way too hard to keep you safe.
It just sucks at doing it elegantly.
It’s like a smoke alarm that goes off because the toast is slightly ambitious.
Annoying. Loud. Technically doing its job.
But not exactly life-changing wisdom.
So the goal isn’t to silence your brain.
It’s to stop giving every thought VIP access to your emotions.
When your brain says:
“You’re failing.”
“You’re behind.”
“They hate you.”
“Everything is falling apart.”
Try responding with:
“Okay, sweetheart, calm your tits — is this real or are you just bored?”
Half the drama evaporates instantly.
Your brain isn’t deep.
It’s just noisy.
And learning to ignore the noise is the difference between living in constant crisis…
and finally having some goddamn peace.
Your mind will always talk.
You just don’t have to treat it like it’s telling the truth.
