Accurate and V scientific representation of midlife brain:

In case you can’t read all the little bits, they are as follows…

KNOWING MYSELF,

RAGING OVER INJUSTICE,

LISTS,

LAUGHING INAPPROPRIATELY,

PURE JOY,

I DON’T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS ABOUT ME,

OH GOD, WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK ABOUT ME IF I DO/ SAY / LOOK / CHOOSE X?,

MORE LISTS,

FEELING VERY LUCKY AND HAVING A HAPPY CRY,

WOBBLY CRYING,

SOBBING OVER KIDS’ FILMS,

BUT I LIKE THE JEANS THAT ‘NO-ONE IS WEARING

ANYMORE’,

STILL ABOUT TWELVE YEARS OLD,

DEFINITELY FORGOTTEN TO DO SOMETHING NIGGLE,

WAIT. IS THIS ALL THERE IS?,

LISTS,

FORGETTING THE NAMES OF ACTORS,

WHAT’S FOR TEA?,

DOOM SCROLLING,

RESPONSIBILITIES,

INTERNAL SCREAM,

THE WORLD

I’ve always loved those weird phrenology diagrams. They start with something that sounds reasonable like ‘limbic system’ and then, two sections across it’s ’melancholy’ or ‘disillusionment’ so I figured my version was no less scientific.

These gorgeous 95mm x 95mm desk buddies have been printed onto poplar plywood and strung onto a ribbon with a metal jump ring. The design is on one side only.

A perfect, unusual gift for fellow mid-lifers or a treat for yourself to this reminder that you are not alone in your cacophony of intrusive thoughts.

See the separate listings for desk buddy decorations and personalised versions.

Print options also available.
