dopamine decor
Interior design philosophy that rejects “millennial gray” and bland neutrals when decorating living spaces, favoring vibrant colors and aesthetics that increase joy.
Adjusting my Prozac dosage wasn’t not enough so I redid my entire apartment with dopamine decor: Persian carpet, new plants, mint green for the book nook wall and an analog tv on the kitchen counter to remind me of the good ole days!

truthstorian
In the FX series “The Lowdown,” ‘truthstorian’ is a made up word that Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke) uses to describe himself.
Truthstorians are citizen journalists who seek to uncover the truth, often outside of established institutions, by relying on traditional legwork, conversation, and a willingness to confront powerful figures and corruption (with mixed results).

I’m a truthstorian. I look into the past and the present and the future, searching for the truth that connects all of these things. Without understanding where we come from, we don't understand where we are.

money dysmorphia
A sibling of the term “body dysmorphia,” money dysmorphia refers to people who have a distorted view of their own financial well-being and security. It can lead to overspending to compensate for missing out, obsessively checking the balance in their bank accounts, or hoarding wealth and not doing anything with it.
multiple friends are in Thailand and Southeast Asia for spring break according to instagram and it triggered my money dysmorphia. Meanwhile I can barely afford a Pad Thai
