you know when you just like— forget words? like, not even big ones. like the one for the thing that holds water? and you’re trying to help your kid with their science homework and you literally cannot remember “hypothesis” and you just stare at them like an idiot. it's so embarrassing. especially when you're already scrambling for gig work and stressing about rent and you just feel like your brain is EMPTY. like, am i just DUMB now? i used to be smart. sometimes you just wanna scream into a pillow.
