It was just like, I needed rest so bad.

I was not in a good place.

I was not a happy camper.

I knew that the holidays needed to be a time of effective rest and rejuvenation for me because I was not in a good place.

Well, unfortunately for me, I came out of my holiday break feeling, you won't believe it, even more exhausted, even more exhausted than I did going into it.

How did this happen?

I didn't have it in me to rest effectively.

I knew I was resting wrong, but I did it anyway.

You want to know how I spent my two weeks of what I wanted to be rest and rejuvenation?

I spent it brain rotting.

I kid you not.

I spent my entire holiday break,

On YouTube Shorts, scrolling.

I got my bare minimum done in addition to that.

I spent time with friends and family, which was enjoyable to an extent.

I continued to exercise.

I did my skincare routine.

It's not like all I ever did was brain rot, but in every single free moment, I was on YouTube Shorts.

Every single minute that didn't get filled by something else, it was filled with that.

And this led to an immense feeling of guilt.
