I have just basically finished my tapering (not really but I'm at sustainable normal human amounts) and of course it led to a cleaning and organizing of all my materials. I have 12 dress shirts and 3 battlebots! (That is news to me) and a whole bunch of other shit that I had basically forgot existed at all yet alone I possessed it. (I'm not gunna brag on things I found instead Ill take it the other way)
Double sided sword here --- While cleaning and organizing finding things I would remember other shite that I owned and had been (apparently) stolen over the years. (Really mostly when we moved out here - both sentimental and financial ex. I had a mongoose BMX bike with back suspension I ordered out of BMX magazine in ELEMENTARY school (which of course meant a lot of kindness and assistance from my parents - now just the frame is selling for 1200) 90s kids remember when yo-yo's were back in lmao I bought the nicest one you could get $99 the "cold fusion" also required parental assistance with the order - gone - also selling for around 8-12 hundred **FOR A YO-YO WHO!??** --- multi thousand dollar hockey card collection gone (But I retained a couple keepers, one with a piece of Joe Louis arena in it signed by Mario lemieux) -- haha about 200 wwf wrestling figures I'd say 50 or so hand painted (feel how you want about my strange childhood hobbies)
Just going over the stuff stolen I can see that I had a pretty damn good childhood. (especially once attaching the sentiment of my parents going to card stores and ordering tough to find stuff online or out of a magazine. Ah shoot my dye matrix paintball gun, few airsoft guns. Damnit.
Ok this turned mostly into a rant about things that have been stolen from me and that was not the intention. But since we landed here I will make the question --
Anyone else sober up/snap out of a long streak to realize you had a bunch of pretty cool stuff you completely forgot about OR sober up and snap out of a long streak and realize all of the cool shite you had and lost at one point?
Materials become very unimportant during a good run than back to reality --- "Hey look my stuffs I forgot!"
Other than the bills and stuff maintenance it turns out I need to buy A LOT less than I thought I was going to! (Could use that stolen shit money though lol).
ahh Materialism I can't say I really missed you but I am back to caring slightly. 1 fuck given lol
