vita brevis

(My) life is too short for...

Meta

• living as if there was a rulebook that needs to be followed and that there are rewards for playing the game (i.e., living life) by those imaginary rules
• third chances when my feelings got hurt or my mind was troubled
• gossip or spilling tea or complaining about what other people do (note: work hard on this)

Relationships

• people who let small obstacles overrule all the good previously shared
• relationships in which effort to stay in touch or to hang out is one-sided for a consistent length of time (say, several months)
• pursuing someone who does not reciprocate interest or level of attraction
• leading someone on when interest or level of attraction is not felt

Hobbies

• finishing a book or movie or album if I'm not enjoying it
• treating investing like a hobby; I am not smarter than the market

Technology

• chasing the latest and greatest, in both hardware and software

Games

• playing video games on the hardest difficulties; that is a young person's leisure
