I’m trying to plan my life, but I feel like I’m putting together a thousand-piece puzzle with no picture on the box

    Tr. Do what excites you.

    Unless it’s heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, or other highly addictive drugs. Also, no gambling unless you’re a mathematical genius. No extreme sports unless you’re extremely fit and a physicist. No crimes or exploitation. No killing, forcibly confining, gaslighting, or coercing people. That’d be awkward. Also, no parenting unless you already have the means to spend $1M on someone other than yourself — while keeping yourself fed, clothed, housed, employed, and pretending to be happy.

    So, yeah, whatever excites you and makes you fit, smart, caring, and socially ept.

        In moderation. Everyone needs a way to lazily recharge. But make no mistake that even though it’s engaging, it’s only better for you than mindless content consumption by very thin margins.
