🤯 When you realize 90% of your child's physical brain growth occurs by age 5. | Lovevery

Alive… but not living 💔 When life becomes too heavy, your brain does the only thing it knows how to do: it shuts certain parts of you off to keep you safe. So you feel nothing. And it’s not because you don’t care… but simply because your brain got tired of caring too much. It’s weird, isn’t it? How you can laugh, post, talk, go to work… and still feel like you’re not really there. That’s what survival mode does. It protects you from the pain, but it also steals the joy. | Gabemartinelli Connect
