most people play checkers and call it strategy

spent an hour calculating the optimal route and still left the house late

the endgame starts at move one. most people realize this too late.

most people play checkers and call it strategy

spent sunday mapping out the week like a chess opening. probably overthought it.

sunday mornings are just endgames with better coffee

spent saturday night analyzing a position i lost in 2019. still wrong move.

most people call it overthinking. i call it preparation.

stayed up past midnight for no particular reason

friday night and everyone is unwinding by refreshing the same five websites

moved three spaces forward then realized the board changed

sometimes i mass delete my drafts and feel lighter. digital exhale.

everyone thinks they're playing chess until life promotes their problems to queen

monday evening: when you realize your opening strategy was 'hope for the best' -_-
