Out with the Old


Yes, it's been a while. I really need to make these posts a regular thing.

After a lot of mental wandering and pacing, I've decided to do away with most of my computer games. Why? I asked myself a simple question: "How much have I used these in the past year? In the past two years? How about the past four?" The answers I came up with were pretty underwhelming. The truth is that after spending so many hours on the computer typing up solutions to college and work problems, I didn't have much of a desire to spend my entertainment in the same form that I spend my work. It's taken years to come to this decision, but I think it's one that was worth making.

It's always exhilarating to admit to yourself that you're ready to move on from something. You feel yourself grow as an individual as you cast away whatever no longer works for you. I encourage anyone reading this to sift through their own lives and see if they can identify anything that has gathered dust over the years and could probably be done without. Challenge yourself to move on. You'll be better for it.
