Oh my lord, this is grim. For everything that could have been, your life is reduced to worker bee dots and squares on a graph?

For me personally, I’ve found that contemplating these things head on reduces my underlying generalized anxiety, which seems fueled primarily by the uncomfortable things my brain wants to avoid.

Congrats on the marriage and new family.
