I have wonderful friends who suggest good things for me to do.
They say, there’s a movie you should see.
I probably should.
But I probably won’t.
They say, there’s a restaurant you should try.
I probably should.
But I probably won’t.
They say, I’ve read a book. You should read it.
I probably should.
But I probably won’t.
They say, there’s a YouTube video you should watch.
I probably should.
But I probably won’t.
They say, there’s a wine you should taste.
I probably should.
But I probably won’t.
They say, there’s a country you should explore.
I probably should.
But I probably won’t.
They say, there’s a lesson you should learn from this poem of yours.
I think I’m learning that lesson right now.
Sometimes one must say ‘no’ to a few good things
for the sake of the autonomous self.
