I want to be a standup comedian.

I fucking love standup comedy.

There's a version of me that should be a famous standup comedian.

Like, and I, I've just totally dispelled that desire in my life.

I still love it.

I still respect it as a medium.

I think it's incredible.

And I don't know if it's age or just awful desire management or whatever, but it's just like very clear to me now that I do not want to pay the price to become, I don't want the lifestyle.

I don't want all the things like, you know, the price tag is too big.

It's a fun thing to fantasize about.

And now that's kind of like,

I've just completely dispelled that desire.

And there are a thousand examples like that.

And I bet open Instagram or Twitter for five minutes and you will feel a new desire welling up in you.

You just walk outside and a new desire will well up in you.

And big or small, learning to identify that and say like, do I really want that?

Is that a meaningful desire?

Is that a long-term desire?

Is it worth it?

changing you know the course that i'm on what would i sacrifice do i want that thing enough to pay the price tag for it is like almost always the answer is no the quicker you can close that loop and the fewer of those that exist in your head at any given time the happier you are on a minute-to-minute basis so how do you do that do you literally go okay i feel a desire so like i hear in my head i want that so i recognize that and then i think
