I MUST have a triple shot espresso. I MUST have dark chocolate.
I MUST be freeeee :)
Going cold turkey on caffeine, or just coffee, is a nice little reset. I like playing with it for short periods. Cannot give up caffeine forever, that sounds like an awful life lol
This song truly does feel like a hit of dopamine---I like.
As I was reading your essay and thinking about dopamine what came to mind was my very recently embraced attempt to engage on Twitter. As I was reading, I was considering how drawn in I was already getting by the Twitter algorithm. Enough that I deleted it from my phone yesterday, leaving my engagement strictly for work time when I'm at the computer. And then you unexpectedly called out that A - Z post. (Thanks!) It was truly a joy to write and share, but the need to intentionally get off the dopamine roller-coaster every so often remains as an essential discipline. I WILL enjoy my weekend.

That tidbit about "you must enjoy your weekend" is wonderful. You must enjoy your weekend too, Rachel!
