with so much Stuff in the world i find the whole concept of buying something brand new a little absurd when it’s so easy to find pre-loved things that are still functional or easily repurposed. every time i deviate from that belief i end up regretting it. this includes every piece of technology i own, a dress i bought last minute to go to a fancy event i was underdressed for, my blender, my electric razor (not so guilty that i bought this new, but still wish i’d splurged and gotten one that would last longer - i can just tell this one is gonna self destruct as soon as it works out how), my docs, and fabric i’ve bought new rather than thrifted. even with socks and undies i feel like i could be making them with thrifted fabric instead of buying the mass produced versions

I took this at the Chelsea flea when I visited New york, and when I look back to how much I just spent today on thrifting alone, I wonder how the appeal of low cost one of a kind—kinda causes people to overconsume.
“Trinkets” are becoming a trend now and it befuzzles me as someone who has been collecting little nothings since I was a lamb, and I wonder how it can turn into hoarding fast.

I always keep hesitating when trying to buy something, one would say that's a good thing but by the time I finally make up my mind, it’s already sold.. LIKE I JUST MISSED OUT ON A GOOD COUCH DEAL

idk if this would actually be considered a “bit” but before i realized i was a lesbian i used to do this thing on hinge where i would ask guys for their spotify username and then once they sent it i’d unmatch them almost immediately so that they’d think their music taste was so foul it sent me running
