When I was in school I had a terrible time listening and being attentive and being mindful of people’s instructions and the things that were going on around me. I was often times lonely and depressed and the only thing I was involved in was football but I barely played and I was never respected on the team bc I was kinda slow mentally and I didn’t actually understand the sport like they did since I had only started in 10th grade while I was around guys who literally grew up around it. I also had a gyno issue which are basically man boobs so I was very self conscious growing up. So I would often times use porn as a way of coping with my loneliness and depression and the first time I had started watching it was at the age of 12. It wasn’t long till after I graduated that I started doing my research on the side effects of porn use and I found out that it causes something referred to as brain fog which explained my cognitive issues in high school and in general as I was growing up. Scientists have literally discovered that porn can actually shrink the brain and make you almost handicapped along which causing changes in the brain that can impact your preferences your urges and your sexuality overall. It can negatively affect your grades and academics or even your ability to earn a spot on a team. Let my trials and burdens be a demonstration of wisdom and understanding and warning for you to change your ways before going any further in the wrong direction to a point of no return.
