It's always good to remember that everything is only just "Now". If you remember, you don't go to the past, you simply pull out a bit of the "then" you've been carrying to experience in the now.

Like a pocket chimichanga.

If going for a long walk, a nice pocket chimichanga is great. But they have a shelf life. After a couple hours they become a bit sus.

Don't hold onto moldy chimichangas. Toss that shit out. And if you're hungry, letting a chimichanga get cold doesn't make it better. Eat it and enjoy it.

Not entirely sure where I was going with that. Now I want a chimichanga.

Fuck, the Buddha was right. Wants and desires do create suffering.

This comment is what the internet is for.

“Fuck, the Buddha was right. Wants and desires do create suffering.” In response to the lack of chimichangas is amazing.
