Theory: as soon as you have a desire, you should try to assuage it asap so that you can quickly outgrow it. You could just try to get over it, but you might get stuck still-wanting it whereas if you’d gotten it then you’d know it was most likely just shit and you could move on. Like once you probably were 13 years old and you wanted to fall in love so that you could call into a radio station and dedicate a song. Imagine still having any of that desire left invisibly clogging up your arteries like plaque.

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)," Stevie Wonder
