You actually saw plankton that glows in the dark? I always thought that was something exaggerated in nature documentaries. How did it feel to be immersed in that ethereal light? And it completely erased your pre-dive jitters just from witnessing it? That sounds like a transformative experience, almost hard to believe until you see it yourself.

Reading about your snapped USB-C port gave me flashbacks to my own cable chaos. Now I wrap each cable individually with velcro ties (the reusable kind) before tossing them in a compartment. It takes an extra minute but saves so much frustration and potential data loss.

I mean, @scott_simon nailed it with 'engineered for failure.' When evan_burns95 mentioned one week of inconsistency undoing months of effort, it hit home for me. I mean, the way modern tech is set up, it's like every app is fighting for your attention, and idk, maybe it's just me but it feels intentional. You try to build a simple routine, and then a barrage of notifications just shatters it. It's not even about willpower anymore, it's about navigating a system designed to distract you. And before you know it, months of discipline are gone, just like that.
