I'm posting from the Dragon ...

 

I'm not chasing the Dragon.

 

I'm okay with not being at the Dragon. Short term pain for long term gain.

 

I'm even MORE okay with not chasing the dragon.

 

I'm noting we all learn that lesson when the itchy bugs start climbing under the skin.

 

I'm noting I've never chased the dragon, but I have seen what it can do.

 

I'm not ok with not being at the Dragon. Pain sux.

 

Im killin time before closin time

 

I'm reminded of that psych research from several decades ago, where the kids were offered candy immediately, or later. They were told if they waited, they would get an extra treat, or they could eat the candy immediately. Those who waited were considered more 'successful' as adults. (Might be off on the details, but that's the jist of it.)

 

Im hoping to be a successful adult
