    I have this little habit I programmed in my brain

    When I feel irritated, anxious, or uncomfortable, I go through a checklist.

    Is there a direct reason I’m feeling this emotion? If yes, continue. Otherwise…

    Do I feel hot? Am I thirsty? Am I too cold? Is there a bad/annoying smell? Have I been sitting still too long?Am I sick, or sleep terribly? Is my brain chemistry just off today?

    Usually I get up and walk, and occasionally I remember to actually get some water or turn on a fan… But more often than not, I’m just too hot and my brain didn’t bother to tell me

      oh my God, the number of times I’ve been really pissed off for no reason only to realize it’s because the shitty baseboard heater suddenly decided to crank the fuck out of itself and I’m just melting fuckin hot after getting up and feeling that my back is wet…

      why does my body suck at noticing that sometimes?
