I mean, is she wrong, though? Existing is exhausting. You can't spell exhausting without existng.

There’s an extra “i” in… hang on a sec, actually, you’re absolutely correct.

I’ve often thought that 90% of success is having enough energy. I wonder why some people have the energy to get out of bed in the morning and do a bunch of shit, while the rest of us struggle to screw up enough energy reserves to want to live another day.

Once you start 'succeeding' at what you're doing it tends to feel like it takes less energy, and if you start to feel good about it, you'll also tend to feel more energetic, so it forms a self reinforcing loop.

It won't work like that for everyone. You have to actually be enthused about the idea of succeeding at whatever it is you're doing and not push so hard you burn out regardless of success, but if you can get into that frame of mind, things becone easier.

Spoon Theory describes it pretty well IMO.

Some of us only have a handful, others seem to either have enough to serve soup for an army battalion, have many of others' available to them, or both.

That's because you need to do things like stay hydrated, eat a healthy diet and keep your cell division count as low as possible.

I've been trying to exercise and eat better to cause cell subtraction but then again

Back in school, one of my first sex ed classes, teacher says: "boys have a factory of sperm in their bodies".

Me, trying to be funny: "oh so that's why sometimes there's smoke coming out of my mouth?"

Thankfully it landed well with the classmates, but the teacher was really worried I took it literally.

I just read that dolphins shed their skin almost 10 times more frequently than humans. Some species do it every two hours! Imagine the amount of energy spent in this.

skin turnover for normal people is around 9days+ people with psoriasis or eczema, is around like 2 days, or even sooner if you have a rash or flare up.

My dog uses all consumed food to create hair.

"I know I look like I'm just sitting here confused at these word problems, but, deep inside, I'm performing millions of complex calculations." -I said to the math teacher, as there is 5 minutes left on the pop-quiz that I didn't prepare for, and I haven't even written anything down yet
