The Weeknd’s music is, admittedly, a vibe. It’s the kind of music that hits just right when you’re staring out a car window at night, imagining you’re in a music video about heartbreak that’s far more dramatic than your actual life. The glossy production, the infectious beats, and that falsetto...Chef’s kiss. It feels good to drown in a pool of glittery sadness. You hear his songs, and suddenly your situationship feels like a Shakespearean tragedy instead of two texts and a ghosting.

But then you listen a little closer—and that’s when the cracks begin to show. The Weeknd is the human equivalent of someone writing "deep" Instagram captions under pictures of overpriced cocktails. His lyrics? A greatest hits collection of surface-level brooding and vague debauchery.

Do you think quoting lines from “The Hills” makes you introspective? It doesn’t. It just reveals that you think narcissism dressed up as vulnerability is personality gold. Your devotion to The Weeknd is less about the music and more about your desperate attempt to cosplay as "damaged but deep."

He’s not mysterious, he’s just a guy who learned five buzzwords about self-destruction and now thinks he’s Dostoevsky with a drum machine. And don’t even get me started on the persona—this whole "tortured, emotionally unavailable genius" schtick is just a mask for mediocrity. He’s basically that one guy at a party who cornered you to tell you how much he hates love, but secretly sends "u up?" texts at 3 AM. Listening to The Weeknd is fun, sure—but enjoying it unironically? That’s how you admit you’d sell your soul for a sad aesthetic.

Types of Memory and How They Are Measured

Memory is typically categorized into short-term, long-term, and sensory memory, each serving distinct roles. Long-term memory is further divided into explicit and implicit memory, with additional subdivisions. Here's an overview:

1. Sensory Memory

Definition: Sensory memory is a brief storage of sensory information (e.g., sights, sounds) that lasts a few milliseconds to a few seconds.

Types:

Iconic Memory: Visual sensory memory (duration: ~0.5 seconds).

Echoic Memory: Auditory sensory memory (duration: ~3–4 seconds).

Measurement:

Sperling’s Partial Report Paradigm: Participants are briefly shown a grid of letters and asked to recall specific rows based on a cue. This measures how much sensory memory can store before fading.

2. Short-Term Memory (STM)

Definition: STM holds a limited amount of information for a short period (about 20–30 seconds). Capacity is often cited as 7 ± 2 items (Miller’s Law).

Example: Remembering a phone number just long enough to dial it.

Measurement:

Digit Span Task: Participants recall a series of digits in order.

Chunking Experiments: Tests the ability to group information into chunks to expand STM capacity.

3. Working Memory

Definition: A dynamic form of short-term memory that involves temporarily storing and manipulating information for complex tasks like reasoning or problem-solving.

Measurement:

N-back Task: Participants monitor a sequence of stimuli and indicate when a current item matches one from "n" steps earlier.

Operation Span Task: Combines arithmetic and memory tasks, requiring participants to solve equations while remembering unrelated words.

4. Long-Term Memory (LTM)

Definition: LTM stores information for extended periods, from minutes to a lifetime. It is divided into explicit and implicit memory.

A. Explicit Memory (Declarative Memory)

Definition: Memory that involves conscious recall of facts and events.

Subtypes

Episodic Memory: Memory of personal experiences (e.g., your last vacation).

Semantic Memory: General knowledge and facts (e.g., the capital of France).

Measurement:

Free Recall Tasks: Participants recall as many items as possible from a list.

Recognition Tests: Identifying previously learned items among options (e.g., multiple-choice questions).

Autobiographical Memory Interviews: Assess personal memories through structured questions.

B. Implicit Memory (Non-declarative Memory)

Definition: Memory that operates unconsciously, influencing behavior and skills.

Subtypes:

Procedural Memory: Skills and habits (e.g., riding a bike).

Priming: Unconscious influence of prior exposure on behavior or performance.

Measurement:

Mirror Tracing Task: Tests procedural learning by tracing shapes using a mirror reflection.

Priming Tasks: Participants are faster or more accurate in recognizing stimuli they’ve been exposed to earlier.

Summary of Memory Types and Their Measurements

Each type of memory serves a distinct purpose and is measured through specific tasks tailored to its characteristics.

Let’s talk about this trend of "open relationships," because it's more than just a passing phase. It’s a symptom of a deeper issue. People in these relationships often wrap themselves in the cloak of being "modern" or "progressive," like it’s some badge of honor. But in reality, it's just a cowardly attempt to avoid the real work of emotional intimacy. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that keeping options open means you’ve got something better or more evolved. What it really means is that you’re dodging the tough, uncomfortable parts that love demands... the parts where you have to be vulnerable, trust someone completely, and commit. It’s not about freedom, it’s about refusing to take on the responsibility that real love demands. Basically running away from it, scared to show up what's real, what actually makes you grow up.

Reality is, most people who chase after open relationships are trying to escape the weight of emotional depth. They are afraid of facing the messiness of true connection. They’re not embracing freedom, they’re embracing the avoidance of real, meaningful engagement. They want the perks of intimacy without the messy, sometimes painful, effort it takes to build a solid, lasting connection. Open relationships are often just a convenient excuse for their insecurities. It’s a way to dodge their fears of commitment and their inability to nurture the kind of deep bond that requires real strength.

If you're too afraid to commit to someone fully, if you can’t handle the vulnerability that comes with opening your heart to someone else, then stop pretending you’re being “open-minded.” You’re not challenging old norms, you’re just running from the truth that love, real love, requires effort. It requires you to face the complexities of another human being. You don't need to spread yourself thin, trying to open up to multiple people to keep your relationship alive. What you need is to have the courage to look at your partner, truly see them, and face the messy, beautiful work of growing together. The more you hide behind this so-called "freedom," the more you’re avoiding the vulnerability that makes real love so powerful.

Isn’t it strange how we’ve come to believe that love should be easy, like it’s something you can just pick up and drop whenever you feel like it? We’ve turned commitment into a dirty word, as if it’s something to be avoided, something that limits us. But what if the truth is that love, the real kind, isn’t meant to be convenient? What if it’s supposed to challenge us, force us to grow, make us uncomfortable? Isn’t that where the beauty is? Why do we keep running from the hard stuff, pretending that freedom means having no strings attached, when really, it just means we’re too scared to tie ourselves down and actually be present for someone else?

Open relationships? They’re not about expanding your options, they’re about running away from what truly matters. Real relationships require integrity. They require honesty. They require you to sit with discomfort and grow through it. So stop pretending that avoiding vulnerability is some progressive, enlightened choice. It’s not. It’s just fear dressed up in a trendy label.
