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
