Giving up television

I feel there are wishes that follow one through life. Not regrets but things you wish you could change; learn an instrument, complain less, speak Japanese etc. They are colours or flavors you wish to include in a recipe but the food is fine without it. That sort of thing.

The one i am thinking about is reducing the television I watch, freeing up time for other things. The reason I am thinking about it is that I just realized that I had been walking around assuming that I had greatly improved and it might not be true.

My adult me had shaken the couch potato ways of my youth. It is true that I have not been watching traditional television. This has not frees up anytime as i have replaced it with Youtube.

Unconventional television is still television and I fond myself at the halfway mark of the year with a lot of resolutions to work on and a lot of time lost. I have discovered it is been whisked away by youtuber playthroughs and reviews.

To misquote the glass menagerie. I have been watching movies instead of moving.

I need to figure something out. The problem is that I like You Tube. Although as my mom would say, this is a problem I like having.
