to serve as a reminder

Yesterday, under the influence of unfortunate circumstances (sleep deprivation, a looming research deadline, etc.), I found myself in the undesirable state of melancholic contemplation. Although it lead to some interesting discoveries regarding my subconscious and the like, it’s not worth the mental hangover I have to tend to the following day. Next time, no matter how tempting, I must keep myself very very distracted so as not fall prey to such powerful forces.
