What's Something You Wasted "Too Much Time" On?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Maybe partying or smoking a lot of weed while hanging out with friends when I was between 18 and 26. But it's not like we were couch potatoes or anything. We were actually very active, did lots of things, played sports, went on adventures, and had a really good time. Plus, I had jobs and went to community college part time, so I don't regret those years. It's when I was the most carefree and had some of my most amazing experiences.
It's not like we were sitting around playing video games and eating junk food.

One more thing occurred to me. I began gaining weight in my late twenties because of the career job I started when I was 26. It changed my entire lifestyle. I was forced to be much more sedentary and people took me out to good restaurants every day for lunch. I discovered food and had money to spend on it.

As a result of having to cut my hair and wear a suit for the job, I didn't recognize or very much like myself for years. When I gained weight, I hated myself even worse.

So I totally wasted my off hours in my apartment smoking weed and doing rather meaningless things. I had no girlfriend because I didn't want the kind of girl who would want me. In a way, weed helped me to get through those years.

When I was 34, my company offered Weight Watchers to its employees. I signed up and lost 50 lbs in less than six weeks. I began working out while I was on Weight Watcher's too. So by the time I was 35, I was not only making really good money, I had grown up and become comfortable in my skin. I liked myself again.

My exes, former crushes, practically anyone I used to like or date, supposedly friends, coworkers I call myself helping or trying to befriend-

... to paraphrase, most people in my life.
I feel like I wasted or invested too much time on them, because eventually they left me or proved they weren't worth my time or energy in the first place.

Worrying about things that happened in the past that I had no control over at the time. Because while I may not have had any choice in whether or not it happened,
I definitely have a choice in how much I think about it now!

One school day in the seventh grade I dedicated all of lunch and one class period to counting to 1000. Yeah, that was a complete waste of 1000 seconds but now I can at least say that I did it. Still no regrets.

Most things in life really. I mean life is a zero sum game. You come into this world with nothing. You leave with nothing. The only thing that matters is the lives you touch along the way. And even that doesn't mean much.
