your brain basically has a subroutine intelligence and you won't be wrong to treat it as a basic bitch impatient shallow brat that controls your mood
so you either take time learning how to placate and control it or suffer the consequences of being swept away by its whims

if you are infantile you might want to read a book on unironic timeloops infantile brain falls into
