I'm done. I'm done with everything. Well, not literally, but things need to change severely. The consequences of my actions have finally caught up with me. Being the way I am has caused me to experience a loss of conviction, a loss of motivation. I can pinpoint some factors in this, but for the most part, I think a self-reformation is what's needed the most in this situation. So in this article, I shall be offering several entirely logical factors and pinpointing how I can change them to create the best version of myself.
Disclaimer: at some points I might mention some extremely irrational or irrelevant things. You guys get the gist.

I'M DONE with social media. Maybe I just need to take an extended break, but social media has been one of the most detrimental factors to my mental health. From platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit, simply logging on or opening the app gives me enough brain damage to last a generation. I'd advise anyone who's reading this to set limits on your social media usage, please.
I'M DONE with the NBA playoffs series. Being constantly on the edge of my seat every day for the past few weeks has caused me to absolutely be horrified at the prospect of basketball (or of performing such feats in front of millions of people). The crazy thing is, it's still not over. But after that HORRIBLE performance by the Warriors last night, I have no hope whatsoever.
I'M DONE with school. The APUSH exam was extremely daunting. I found myself doing severe self-reflection about the consequences of my actions and my self worth in the middle of the AP Calculus Exam. The SAT made me realize just how much of a failure I am. Spanish class being the only thing keeping me from straight A's will be my breaking point. It's not just that, but it's the people as well. Of course, there are still funny moments and nice assignments such as the Malcolm X Socratic in Mr. Hazzard's class, but besides that… it's gotten trash.
I AM DONE with attempting to find new shows to watch. It's been a long hassle attempting to find something new to watch or read because nothing feels the same anymore. All of modern fiction is filled with cliches or "inspirations" from other stories, which often results in borderline mediocre stories with one-sided protagonists and flawed plot points, settings, and story progression. I have resorted back to watching all of the shows that I would watch between the end of seventh grade and early freshman year. Death Note and The Twilight Zone still have a hold on me, I guess. Or maybe it just shows that I'm not susceptible to change or something.
I'M DONE WITH THE ARTICLE. No seriously, I don't know what I was trying to accomplish here, but I hope at least one person enjoyed reading whatever this was.
