me (young woman with glasses and long light brown hair) in a gray shirt flashing the peace sign. on the left are two black textboxes laid vertically to resemble buildings. next to the boxes is a plane emoji laid diagonally. one textbox says "Happy 1 year tranniversary to me! 🥳". the other textbox says "Who else is celebrating today? 🏢🏢"

beneath the image a comment from me says: "very important day"

I think this might interest you
Mental Floss Amazing Facts Calendar May 9/10 2026:

Pregnancy alters a person's brain. The gray matter- that is, the tissue that's crucial for day-to-day function- shrinks in areas responding to social signals. According to a 2016 study, it's believed this may make parts of the brain that handle responding to their baby's needs work more efficiently, allowing the parent's brain to become more specialized and efficient. Those brain changes aren't as short-lived as other pregnancy symptoms: They were shown to last for at least two years.

(author's note: i understand this is still pop science with no sources, but the subject could be worth looking into)
