  • Being Rich — Of course having more money would be nice, but it wouldn’t change who you are. You would still be you and your problems would change in size, but not in nature.
  • Getting Drunk — My mom used to say “It’s always fun until someone gets hurt.” Well… guess who gets hurt tomorrow when you drink too much.
  • Designer/Brand Items — The newest, hottest items on the market only remain that new and hot for a very short time. After that you are stuck with a lot of items that are outdated and cost more than they are worth.
  • The Young/Attractive Partner — The youngest, most attractive partner on the market only remains that way for a short time. After that you are stuck with their personality, so make it count.
  • Chocolate & Other Candies — That instant sugar rush is great! The extra weight, heavy stomach, bad complexion, the negative looks and the sluggish, low-energy and slow feeling you will have to live with are not.
  • Social Media Popularity — Likes, shares, comments, upvotes, and subscribers are all great, but none of them make you feel any more fulfilled inside. In the end, it is just attention on an incomplete and often fake version of yourself that doesn’t even have a chance to break through deep enough to make you truly happy.
  • Having Sex In Unusual
