It’s a bit broad, but spending money because it made me feel like I was doing something.

What a waste. I’d go to the bookstore, buy a stack of books — because I wanted to read and relax — only to fall asleep because I was so exhausted for running around. I’m kind of ashamed to even admit I lived a life like that.

But one positive about stockpiling those books over the years: the pandemic have me ample time to read some of them!
