Habit can be something you noticed about yourself or something that people had to keep telling you about yourself that was true.

    Biting my nails. I’m not even sure how or when I quit it.

    I remember when I was younger and one of my mom’s cousins told me she would buy me anything I wanted if I stopped biting my nails. I think it was around that time I did but I’m not totally sure. I do remember that I didn’t see her often but the next time I saw her, I did stop and she didn’t buy me the LEGO set I asked her for.

    I see her every now and then (this is like 15-20 years later) and I’m always tempted to ask her about that old ass LEGO set she never got for me that I really wanted 😂

      I didn’t bite but I used to tear my nails, sometimes until they bled… and then some. I kicked the habit quite literally overnight after I started painting them. A little over 4 years later, I think I’ve done it once, though I also typically wear extensions now so it’s kinda hard to even if I wanted

          I quit at 25 because I had brackets and two years after I no longer had brackets I started again, quit three years ago thanks to my now wife.

          At 25 I also stopped smoking and drinking soda and alcohol.

      Do you even remember the exact set? Depending on rarity, some of them SKYROCKETED in value.

      Hey cousin! Remember that $20 lego set you owe me? Yeah. It costs $4,000 now.
