Anybody else feeling like a real life NPC? I changed my outfit this morning after realizing it's the same outfit I wore last Monday. It freaked me out thinking I'm just living the same week over and over. Time for me to shake things up.

Sometimes I leave the top three buttons of my dress shirt unbuttoned to live on the edge. If I’m feeling really edgy, I don’t tuck in my shirt. BOSS!

Our parents had a much MUCH more monotonous life across the average. Work is boring to an extent but I find the boring careers tend to then allow for an extra exciting off time and retirement phase of life. I’m fine with that trade off, many are not. All good.
