u gotta be thinking in equilibriums. not just "what will happen if i do this" but "what the rest of my life look like if im the type of person who does this"

people learn from their mistakes. sometimes. but more often they simply are a certain way and repeat certain patterns because that's their nature. so if u can avoid a pattern ever starting, u will in fact have a different nature.

for example, im the type of person who makes dumb typos in tweets
