This is why I buy nice secondhand things off Depop, surely the 3 parcels arriving today will be the thing to fix me.
Yeah but if you ordered it online you had that wonderful time between order and arrival in which you lived in a fantasy believing all your problems will be solved in a few days.
Love those days
Better buy something else. The next one will be the one to do it, for sure!
No joke?
This is THE single most powerful piece of knowledge you can acquire in your entire life, and the earlier you figure it out, the better.
will I try again? probably yes
…it’s gonna fill me
Exactly! You need to have a clear idea of what the thing can do for you for you 😊
Time to buy a larger one!
It won’t fix you, but it will distract you. Keep on distracting for a few years, and then you’re dead. That’s a win win I say.
IME, a lot of the time it doesn’t even do a good job of distracting you. Aspirational purchases are an easy way to waste tons of money.
Thats why I mostly buy drugs.
I woke up this morning, my temperature high. “I’ll never buy nothing again,” I lied.
A lot of my buys are aspirational, as in “if I buy this I’m going to make more music/work out more/draw more/cook more/etc.”. Usually I just end up on some streaming site eating unhealthy food … I could definitely do that cheaper.
It’s often better to buy things that improve what you’re already doing anyway.
The fun is in the trying.
