We spend the money we don’t have. We hang out with people we don’t like. We stay in a job we hate. We smoke until we’re pale. We drink to death. We create bad habits. We make poor decisions. And for some reason, we still choose to live with it.

Because in that moment, it’s the right thing to do. In our head, we only want something that’ll make us feel a little less numb—a little more human.
