This post is a brain dump. The contents will not make sense to most people.

I don’t quite remember when I developed a sense of fondness towards jellyfishes. They’re 95% water, operate almost entirely on automatic reflexes, and that they seem like they’re just floating in the ocean endlessly without any care for the world. They sting when you bother them, but otherwise would mind their own business when you leave them alone. They’re pretty just by existing. Jellyfishes are everything that I can’t be.

Humans think that they’re a special being because they have a brain that can think. It truly is a wonderful organ because that’s how our species can create art and meaning in something. It also actively searches for the reason of our existence otherwise it would stress itself out to death. In my eyes, sometimes, I see it as a disadvantage.

I sometimes wish that we could live without worries. But recently, I (like many other people in the past) have come to realize that the human brain will suffer when we’re given that freedom. They cannot thrive without problems so they will create a problem out of nowhere. You have to actively calm them down otherwise it will start trying to turn your life upside down.

Humans overanalyze, overthink, and overcomplicate. They create problems for themselves so they could solve it. They birth suffering when nobody asked to.

Is that why humans have to constantly suffer, so that they can shine the brightest when they’re about to burn out?
