Cina Leneé (Writer)

Hi! My name is Cina, and I’m a writer. My memoir is my current WIP I used to do slam poetry competitively but lately I mostly write blog articles about mental health, relationships, and personal narratives. I can usually be found on the beach, in a hammock, or with a cat (or 4)

@MiPrawda @Orihime_chan0 Just because someone has an avoidant attachment style does not inherently mean that they are manipulative or trying to control another party.

@cinalenee @Orihime_chan0 All narcissiststs are avoidant attached. Not all avoidants are npd,but most display narcissistic behaviours when triggered. None explain intents,both daje figurę,gaslight,discard,both feel burdened by other needs/wants. Both control other party by silence,withdrawal,vague speak.

Actually tearing up at how well this animation shows what emotional disconnect feels like 🥀

@MiPrawda @Orihime_chan0 “Avoidant” and “narcissist” are not synonyms.

@Orihime_chan0 Exactly "avoidants" aka narcissists. But its only part of them. He/she avoidant separates to fantasize about power/deviant/bdsm/ambient shit. If interupted ,he/she would react with extreme sadism/cruelty, always carefully hiden to protect image of smoking&composed respectability.

@llhawaii Thank you 🥰

@cinalenee What a little cutie 🥰

I really love the farmer’s market. The coolest thing about the farmer’s market is that you get to go and interact with so many passionate and knowledgeable people.

For whoever needs it, a great thought here on what you're really craving

I had reservations about the impact optimism could have on my life because it seemed really unrealistic. But choosing to seek out the good in people, and in the world in general, has been one of the greatest changes I’ve ever made in my life.

He said, “What you look for, you’ll find. If you look for the good in people, you’ll see that everywhere. But if you walk around looking for the bad, you’ll see that too.” Mort Crim is a wise man.

@rumilyrics Her first giggle

Let's see your positively!

I just overheard a woman say "I'm not being mean. I'm just not actively making you comfortable." ... and I'll be using that line forever

Scientists put kids through 100 hours of reading, then scanned their brains. New wiring had physically grown inside the language regions. Communication between brain areas sped up by a factor of 10. Kids who didn't read showed zero change. That was a 2009 Carnegie Mellon study. It gets wilder. In 2013, Emory University scanned 19 students every morning for 19 straight days while they read one novel chapter each night. Mornings after reading, the brain areas responsible for understanding other people's emotions lit up with new connections. So did the region that processes physical sensation. Their brains were simulating what the characters felt, as if it were happening to them. Those changes stuck around for 5 days after they finished the book. Now flip to scrolling. A massive review published in Psychological Bulletin last September pulled together 71 studies covering 98,299 people. Heavy short-form video use (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) showed a clear pattern: worse attention, weaker self-control, and more anxiety. Consistent across teenagers and adults, across every platform tested. Oxford didn't name "brain rot" its 2024 Word of the Year for nothing. A 2024 brain wave study found that people hooked on short-form video had weaker activity in the front of the brain, the part that controls focus and impulse control. Separate brain scans showed the same thing: heavy scrollers had less activation in the exact regions that deep reading strengthens. UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has been studying this for decades. Humans were never born to read. There's no gene for it. Reading is something we invented, and it hijacked neurons that were originally meant for recognizing faces. Over time, it built entirely new brain circuits connecting language, vision, and emotion. But those circuits only survive if you use them. Stop reading, and they fade. Wolf's conclusion is simple: screens built for speed produce a speed-wired brain. Books built for depth produce a depth-wired brain. One honest caveat: most of these studies are snapshots, not long-term tracking. People who already struggle to focus might just prefer short videos. But the same pattern showing up across nearly 100,000 people is hard to shrug off. The tweet repeats the line seven times. The research backs it up with brain scans, EEG data, and white-matter imaging across tens of thousands of people.

a sign that you’re healing is that your silliness comes back. you laugh easily, and you are more amused than you are annoyed

Ur feed is toxic bcs of what u engage with. I’m on beautiful things twitter and it’s super nice over here

@uncutjest Happy Now by Kygo

i need songs that say "you're special to me/thank you for our time together/i will think back on this fondly/who knows what the future holds"

Jeannette McCurdy’s interview on Call Her Daddy has me in my feels! It’s phenomenal though, 10/10

In honor of International Women’s Day, name your favorite book written by a woman.

@GeoRebekah You can’t… next thing you know, you’ll have 5 😂

My husband wants a cat for his cat. How do I stop this?

@kofidereVT Bean & cheese burritos Microwave nachos with some beans, cheese, whatever toppings you like on some tortilla chips Bacon sandwiches (bake the bacon in the oven it’s easier)

if it’s okay to ask, what are your favourite struggle meals…? i’m talking less than 15 minutes to prep and cook. i don’t mind if it’s not the best nutritionally, i’m just looking for a way to eat more than late night take-out. life is hard atm, the least i can do is eat 🙇‍♀️
