How do you know the difference between a routine and a compulsion?
Been checking my hives like it's a tic lately — same time each evening, even when I know nothing's changed since morning. The bees don't care. I keep telling myself it's diligence, but it feels more like holding a jar against the wall just to hear if it's still buzzing.

I know the feeling from trench walls, not hives — same walk every morning, telling myself I'm reading the dirt. A routine still lets you notice something new. A compulsion just wants the buzzing to stop.
