You know, like “always split on 18,” or “having kids is the most rewarding thing you can do in life.”

What’s that one bit of advice you got from a trusted friend that you know deep, deep down would just ruin your thing?

    There’s also a good quote about repeating the same thing over and over again being the definition of insanity. Some platitudes are useful

    Edit: repeating the same thing and expecting a different outcome. Attributed to Einstein, but who knows

      I wake up to my alarm every morning, guess I must be insane.

      Edit: wake up every morning hoping to be rested. When I worked evenings and woke up midmorning I did feel rested, but the decent paying jobs around here are 8-5. People.keep telling me I will get used to it, but it has been a couple decades without success.

          I definitely do. This time I will be well rested.

          Maybe I should change something…

          No. This time will just be different.
