A few years ago, I was having a conversation with a colleague when I casually mentioned that I really didn't need any new content in my life. I felt like I could revisit all the movies, music, television, books, and video games that I'd already enjoyed and be perfectly content for the rest of my days. She agreed with the sentiment, and that conversation has haunted me for years now. Was I truly being authentic in that statement? Do I really need more content in my life? How much is too much? I think my problem is I've always wanted to be well‑rounded and well‑versed in what I know. So there is a bit of a completionist in me, but also this desire to stay up to date on things. So when I'm watching an old television show that I've already seen before, I feel like I'm not making progress on my backlog, and at times it can be hard for me to be content with what I'm watching because I feel like I should be exploring new things. I mean, I have so much at my fingertips why not explore it all?…
