[quote=@Techspert] The neuroplasticity of the human brain allows it to learn and reduce skill in areas depending on how they're reinforced. Each neuron or neuron matrix establishes a "knowledge-base" that the rest of the brain utilizes in order to "know." When you learn something new or work on an existing skill, the existing paths are made stronger, while new paths aren't made as often. The reason new concepts can be learned so easily as a child is because this acts as a network of roads, where a new, small road can be added relatively easily and often. As you age, the small roads begin to be replaced by stronger and faster "highways," where thoughts occur more efficiently. When building your neural "highways," your subconscious decided that certain skills could be better used in other areas, hence a more difficult time understanding quantum physics, but an easier time understanding the complexities of human emotion. The way to rebuild highways or make the current roads larger is to put passion and effort into whatever you want to achieve.

My mind isn't just shifting focus, it's losing focus on everything. And I don't have any passion and effort to give. Even my dreams for the future leave me unmotivated. Things I enjoy doing I end up getting bored with immediately. And I'm not talking about things I could do years ago. 6 months ago I could learn a new incredibly complex concept easily, and now I can't understand things half as complex. Even my personal imaginations have lost their appeal and creativity. There's just nothing left from me.
