I don't really take it this way of have more sex, drink more wine, skip out on work more. Maybe an analogy I could use (though it's not all-encompassing) is that I'm part of a family that's really pretty whacky and laughs about anything and doesn't mind making jokes about our aunt's sex toys and doesn't get super competitive with holiday shopping and etc. Sometimes I see how other families operate, and I think it's completely and utterly fucking miserable. OMG, you didn't wrap this present perfectly which means you're rude/lazy/don't love me, OMG wtf are you wearing, you're overdressed/underdressed/not fashionable enough/too risque which means you're flashy/lazy/poor/going to hell, OMG we don't joke about that kind of stuff, etc.
I think that's the best way I can think of this list: stop fucking going through life like it's a god damned 24/7 job interview. That just seems like the most depressing, anxiety-ridden lifestyle ever.
Not that I think this is the OMG best article ever, and I think that making decisions solely based on avoiding things that other people have regretted is flawed (if people did that, they could actually come to the exact opposite conclusions and end up being very risk-adverse, just so long as you're asking different people), but I just thought I'd through my two cents in because I think there's some decent food for thought in there.
