I used to have this problem a lot more than I do now.
It’s possible the change is just the result of the aging chemistry of my body, but I like to think that the thing that turned it around was literally telling myself, “I want to be the kind of person who is cool with having done that.” I had to accept the thing that had happened and had to become the kind of person that would accept it.
Or maybe I just had to age. It’s possible that’s why I don’t do a lot of the things I used to find myself unable to stop doing.
