I made a series of mistakes which have ruined my life. It& #39;s hard to talk about them but I think it& #39;s worth it if I can help even one other person. This is stuff is important, and I have a platform, even if it& #39;s pretty small in the grand scheme of things.
Mistake #1: I logged on to Twitter. There was no reason to do this. I& #39;m not working today and there are no sports to keep track of. I also wasn& #39;t bored. I was actually occupied at the time. Near as I can tell, it was plain force of habit that led me to open twitter on my browser.
Mistake #2: After foolishly logging into twitter, I saw a comment on my timeline that I didn& #39;t understand. I should have scrolled by. Instead, I decided to use the search function on Twitter to see if I could figure it out. What I good I thought would come of this, I cannot say.
Mistake #3: After glancing at the first couple of results from my Twitter search, I was able to repair my understanding rather quickly. I also regretted doing so, because the matter was not worth the time it took to understand. I should have stopped scrolling. But I didn& #39;t.
Had I stopped scrolling, I would have mitigated the damage. But out of some subterranean instinct, I kept going, needlessly. Some kind of mental inertia? I don& #39;t know. But it led me to this, and now my life is over: https://twitter.com/PabloRomeroArt/status/1252697210724265985">https://twitter.com/PabloRome...
