So many other times I just take the long view.... shit will play out if I freak out or not (or the meme of the Milky Way with an arrow... here's you, crying in the shower before work).
And then there are moments that surely will not work out (and yet even those still do sometimes).

It's better if if you didn't see it happen.
When Mizzou was playing Norfolk State in the tourney, I think it was in Omaha. I had buddies say "Hey, wanna go see the game?" My exact response was 'nah - if they win, I'll expect it. If they lose - man, I don't wanna see that shit. All downside'.
I didn't go. I didn't even watch it on TV. For me it almost didn't happen. But for my buddies that went, they speak about that in hushed tones like my parents speak about the Kennedy Assassination. It's a deep wound.
On the flipside, I was 3 rows up at the 50 yard line in Indianapolis for THAT game. The folks back home experienced but by god, my buddy and I
lived it. The drive back to Columbia from that game was dead silence. Didn't even turn the radio on. It was like someone had eaten a bag of puppies tail first and made us watch. We were too shellshocked to process anything. A friend that came with us brought his dad - at that point a 40+ year Chiefs fan who hasn't watched a game since. Even the Mahomes era hasn't brought him back - it just killed him.
I didn't consume sports content for months. I had my year long CP Sabbatical. That shit WRECKED me.
