Buy physical media. Buy CDs. Buy records. Buy tapes. Buy books. Buy physical artwork or prints. Take photos of yourself and get them developed at a photo processing booth. Write your thoughts down in a journal. Why? Because as this world get more digital, what's physical will slowly but surely disappear. There will be less things you can touch and feel, and more things that you can see and not touch. You can post all the digital pics you want on social media...nothing is assured and those pics and those platforms could be gone in an instant. An album on streaming platforms will never be the same as the original album in your hand with the liner notes, as versions of that album can get removed, and/or replaced with re-recorded material (since the artist doesn't own their masters). Books go out of print. And staring at a jpeg (no matter how much you paid for it *cough cough* NFTs) of an artwork will never be the same as owning the actual artwork or a print of it.

Preserve these things. If not for yourself, then for future generations.

My love of history, mystery, and ominous manor houses full of dark secrets was forged in these worn-out vhs tapes of yore

Is there an expiry date on making a wish on a rainbow? And by that I don't mean "am I supposed to outgrow wishing on rainbows", but "how long do I have for my wish to come true"?

#wish making #wishes #see a rainbow make a wish #see a shooting star make a wish #wish fulfilment #birthday candles wish #when you wish upon a star #or an eyelash #or a passing lorry carrying hay #what is up with that #is it a superstition #beliefs are weird #making wishes is weird #tossing coins in a fountain #what else do people wish on

[…] ‘romantic’ doesn’t mean ‘sugary.’ It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.
