Things You Do Even Though You Know They're Bad For You

Sometimes I ruminate too much about the past: "why didn't I do this 10 years ago?" "was that woman trying to tell me that she liked me 15 years ago?" "why didn't I pursue that path rather than this one 20 years ago?" Too much of this quickly becomes a waste of time and produces feelings of inadequacy and hopelessness. Thankfully, I never take it too far, but I've had a few sessions of wallowing in "what if's" in the past few years. A sect of Buddhism, I don't remember which one, used to have an elder follow newcomers around and if the newcomers spent too much time thinking about the past the elder would bop them with a stick and say "it's in the past." I might pay for that service at the right price.

Spending too much time on Bring a Trailer. It starts with checking out one car, and before you know it, I have a billion tabs open as I scroll down the listings. I can't tell you how many mornings I've thrown down the well of car ****.

Writing posts that are mostly way too long and take too much time for anyone to care but myself...
