Another post within just a couple days for once? Why not!
I’ve been meaning to write this one for a while now. As I’ve mentioned many times before, I am burnt out. And when I say burnt out, I mean diagnosed with medical burnout by a doctor. Until just a little while ago, I was so mentally fucked up I couldn’t even read my own mail. I had to have a friend read it and summarize the contents for me. So far 2025 has been all about rest and recovery for me. (Shout out to Medicaid for insuring people like me who literally physically CANNOT work, and which should absolutely not be defunded!!!)
I want to share this video, which has been a huge inspiration for me when it comes to changing my priorities regarding my health and move away from my workaholic personality. Seriously, it has helped me more than any therapist or self help advice when it comes to chilling the fuck out.
I love both The Bear and Perfect Days, and comparing the protagonists like this really made things click for me. The video does contain one spoiler for The Bear season 2, so if you haven’t watched that season yet and are sensitive to spoilers, I wouldn’t watch the video yet. But I hadn’t seen the show yet when first watching this video and it’s a reeelatively minor spoiler, so it didn’t ruin my experience of the show. So it’s up to you -
Also here’s a picture of me on a cloudy day in Malibu from a while ago:
