Days 4 and 5

Oh yes. Keeping busy. Don't you let that tricky little nostalgia gremlin burrow his way into your poor battered psyche. Don't let the little pest nuzzle the Ventral Tegmental part of your brain, slipping past your already tried and tired Lateral Prefrontal Cortex that has just about had enough of her sass...

Anyway.

Apparently, being rejected by someone you continue to love has the capacity to derail the mind because love occupies the same part of the brain that also controls motivation and reward. A study I read suggested that the average scorned lover takes upwards or 63 days to regain motivation. Holy Mackerel.

So don't let the gremlin-brain-fucker-man have a shot at your mind. He'll sneak up on you, wrap the sheets around your pathetic form and spoon you within an inch or your existence until you smell exactly like the room I am typing this in (balls) and wish for nothing more than to disappear into your own odor and you will allow it because you feel starved for a loving embrace and you're unwashed.
