Azul Crescent's silly scribbles
Transcript
Azul: "Uwahh... whenever i know should do something, but I haven't done it, I feel such existential dread." Azul's Brain: "Then why don't you just do that thing? You'd feel better after you're done with it." Azul: "You know it doesn't work like that! We're only going to do those things when I feel like it's too late!" Azul's Brain: "But why.."
It's because we don't feel better, we feel tired. It's an exhausting process, and we don't get to feel reward chemicals from abstract tasks like that
Tl;dr
I don’t feel better. There’s not really a mental reward for doing the work, it just feels like a never ending list of maintenance to keep my life from getting worse.
If I do the thing, a new thing just takes its place. It's an endless line of things. Or put another way, the dread exists first and then just finds a thing to attach itself to.
