Your imposter syndrome is lying to you. You are capable, and you deserve this opportunity. You’ve worked for it

Push yourself because, no one else is going to do it for you.

2620 Monthly Update

Song of the month: TBH — PARTYNEXTDOOR

Challenge update:

4 books read (1 book a week ✔️) • 31 movies watched (movie a day ✔️)

It's been a very unproductive month but I'm surprisingly still consistent with the movies. The books on the other hand I missed two weeks and had to make it up by reading 3 books on the last week lol.

General life update:

Still out of my ADHD medication and still feeling shitty. I didn't really do much this month. I've been slacking at work and bed rotting at home. Hopefully April is a better month. I have not been posting at all because I don't have the energy to do anything.

2620 Monthly Update

Song of the month: Gucci Gucci — Kreyshawn

Challenge update:

4 books read (1 book a week ✔️) • 28 movies watched (movie a day ✔️)

I cant't believe I've actually watched almost 60 movies so far this year. I've been getting way better at not skipping scenes. I've noticed I get excited to pick a new movie or book, I thought I would have this but I actually find it so fun. I'm really proud of myself.

General life update:

I've run out of my ADHD medications around early January and because of insurance changes my psychiatrist is out of network. I've been raw dogging life unmedicated. I fortunately was able to get it re-prescribed by my primary care but god was it awful without it. It made realize why I was even on it in the first place because I genuinely forgot what I was like without meds lol. Hopefully March is a much more productive month for me

2620 Monthly Update

Song of the month: The Boys — Girls’ Generation

This month was… interesting. I’ve been really lazy in almost every other aspect of my life, but somehow I still stayed consistent with the challenge, and I’m honestly really proud of myself for that.

Challenge update:

• 4 books read (1 book a week ✔️) • 31 movies watched (movie a day ✔️)

The movies were honestly easy. One to two hours a day didn’t feel like a big deal. The reading, though? That was hard. Not because the books weren’t interesting, but because I’m genuinely addicted to my phone. Not picking it up. Not opening TikTok. Sitting with a book instead. That part was a struggle. But I made it to the end of the month anyway.

I’ve noticed my speech has definitely gotten better. I can actually hear the difference in how I talk now. My communication feels clearer, and I don’t stumble over my words as much, which feels like a huge win.

Things I struggled with: Ordering food way too much and wasting money, barely getting out of bed, and my room being an absolute mess. January kind of became “do the challenge and nothing else.”

I also haven’t been taking my ADHD meds at all, which has definitely affected me. I took it on January 31st and oh my god. It felt like I forgot how to be myself and then suddenly remembered. Like the fog lifted. February, I’m going to take it way more consistently.

Sleep is another issue. I haven’t been sleeping at all. I’ll lay in bed doing nothing, then be exhausted the next day, but still not able to sleep at night. I think my meds might actually help with this. Since they’re extended release and wear off around 5pm, I’m usually tired by 10 and actually ready to sleep.

Goals for February: Stop rotting in bed and ordering food. Get active, clean my room, go out, and actually do things. January was all about proving I could stick to the challenge. February is about building a life around it.

If you have movie or book recs, keep sending them. I’m still adding everything to my list ♡

hi!! i've seen your acc (pretty acc btw!) and i saw that your asking for book/movie recs, and, is there really no genre that u like more than the others? Cause i have some recs but it's better if you actually like their genres!!

Hi, thank you so much!

I can get into pretty much anything, so I don’t really have a favorite genre. I’d love to hear your recommendations and add them to my list.

For 2026, I’ve decided to challenge myself to watch 365 movies and read 52 books. One movie a day, one book a week.

I’m an introvert and don’t interact much with people so social media is all I have. I'm addicted to scrolling on TikTok, it’s noticeably decreased my attention span, and honestly, I feel like it’s made me dumber. I’ve been getting a lot of brain fog, I stutter over my words, forget vocabulary, and sometimes lose track of what I’m saying mid-sentence. I swear, I was more articulate in middle school than I am now.

To hopefully fix this, I’m replacing my doomscrolling with reading one book a week and watching one movie a day. I’m also forcing myself to write reviews for everything I read and watch, so I can get better at organizing my thoughts and expressing them.

So if you have any movie and/or book recommendations send them my way to be added to my list. I honestly don't have a preferred genre for either!
