it’s incredible how morning routines have become a fad

a solution doled out to solve, and for some, it does

Hi, I’m Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) and I am hypercognizant whenever I share about something that’s worked for me to caveat that it might not work everyone, and to always adapt based on your own circumstances, mostly because I’ve been shamed so hard for something not working for me because clearly it was crafted around someone who has far more resources than I do, unaware that they even have those resources to begin with and thinking they succeeded based on pure hustle.
