After being advised by two friends, in separate conversations less than an hour of each other, to go with the flow and not to think too much or analyze everything, I told one of them I'm taking their advice.

I'm going with the flow.

The superfriend welcomed the news. I was a bit surprised. Isn't that what I've been doing anyway, going with the flow?

"When it comes to [one aspect]," she said, "you went against the current."

I did?

She took it back. "Okay, you didn't go against the current. Kinda like, you stopped midstream and took a break to think... for a long time..."

Funny. And true.
