I recently found out that a very close childhood friend is 2 years in to a 30 year sentence (in jail).

That news has put a filter on virtually all my actions. I keep thinking what I’d be sorry I was missing out on if I was in jail for 3 decades.

Big ones are obvious. But the small ones jump out at me. Like video games, sitting on a couch, going for a walk anywhere I want.

You have all that time & you can do so little with it. Is that an irony or just a cursed coincidence?

I just keep saying to myself, “Well at least you aren’t in jail for 30 years.”

It’s a reminder for me to keep perspective on my “problems.” I have no worries. I have a wonderful life that is mine to live any way I want.
