“You decide wether you shift or not”

Well yes! but not in the way you think. You’re not flipping a switch and going “okay I’m going to shift tonight” but then getting disappointed the morning after with yet another failed attempt.

You decide whether you shift or not by putting in real effort. Not by half-assing it. Not by doing some random shit because someone on tiktok said so. Real effort is going “I’m going to lock in, put in the work and show up even through struggle. Even when I think it’s hopeless”. Because effort isn’t Repeating mindless affirmations that you know you don’t believe, then rolling over frustrated thinking that this is pointless and groaning about how “you’re never ever going to shift!”. Or my personal fave “I’m going to close my eyes, daydream and then hope for the best!” But still getting frustrated when nothing happens.

And since I know you’re thinking it, YES YOU CAN SHIFT HOWEVER YOU WANT. But let’s be honest here, has closing your eyes, counting to 100, daydreaming then rolling over all frustrated gotten you anywhere? No? Okay didn’t think so. Yes MAYBE it has given you a few symptoms here and there, but is that really want you want?

You’re focusing energy into the wrong things. Forcing yourself to lay there for hours on end, begging your brain to believe the affirmations you keep repeating mindlessly to suddenly work by some miracle. Forcing yourself to feel excited when all you can hear is a voice going “it’s not gonna work”. That is effort, yes. But that effort feels useless and hopeless because it’s not yours. It’s not what works for you. It’s stuff people have told you to do. You probably don’t even know what works for you because you’ve never taken the time to figure it out.

Take a step back. Look within, what makes you ache for that reality, what makes your heart yearn for it. What gets you genuinely excited for it? Look at all that. Not what makes you comfortable, not the position you lay in when you shift, not the fact that you can move around if you get uncomfortable during your attempt. Look at things beyond your attempt, beyond what happens during it. Because shifting isn’t just in the method, and the way you lay, or the affirmations you repeat. It’s in your feelings, emotions, mind, and heart.

Physics: The Cult You Join Willingly

You come in wide-eyed, quoting Feynman, dreaming of unraveling the secrets of the universe. Five years later you’re just hoping your simulation doesn’t crash overnight— because if it does, so will you.

They say physics is beautiful. And it is— like a glacier collapsing in slow motion.

My week? It’s me, in the lab at 2 a.m., arguing with a bug I caused six months ago in a code I no longer understand, modeling a system I barely believe in.

My advisor says, “Be patient, this is how real science works, blah blah blah!!!” But honestly, it feels less like science and more like I’m part of a very long, very expensive existential joke. And the punchline? Me, trying to explain to a committee why a graph with no trend is somehow “publishable.”

Physics is the only field where you can spend four years deriving a result that literally says: “Under these approximations, reality doesn’t matter.”

You know what the real “black hole” is? My inbox.

And quantum mechanics? It’s not weird or magical anymore. It’s just another gaslight. Like, oh—your wavefunction collapses? Cool, so did my mental health.

Every time I submit an abstract, I die a little. Not because I fear rejection, but because I hope for it. Just so I won’t have to present again.

Sometimes I fantasize about leaving— getting a normal job, maybe even smiling again. But then I remember: I’ve spent seven years learning to speak exclusively in tensor indices and self-doubt. I'm unemployable in the real world.

People ask, “So what will you do after the PhD?” I don’t know. Probably haunt the physics department, roaming the hallways whispering, “Did you normalize the wavefunction?”

But here’s the sick part— the truly twisted part— Even after all this... I still love it. Because somewhere beneath the burnout, beneath the cynicism and the caffeine shakes, there’s still that child who looked up at the stars and asked, Why?

And physics? It never answered. But it taught me how to keep asking, even as everything else fell apart. :)

People like to argue about whether time travel as we know it could happen, but one of the reasons I think it womt happen because if someone made a time machine we would definitely know DECADES before it's actually built.
