endorphin high
Endorphin High is a chemical confidence trick that throws a pleasure-first party in the brain, temporarily wrapping pain and anxiety in euphoric packaging. It invites you under the auspices of exercise, chocolate, or laughter, but the fine print always includes a clause: "Proof of reality avoidance required." While it promises fireworks of bliss, it leaves nothing but unpaid bills scribbled in the back of your memory once the show ends. As a result, humans repeatedly leap into its sweet trap, developing a habit of shelving their unresolved issues deep within their own skulls.
