I think that I am at the point where I desire more physical media. I feel so deprived of it. I never grew up with physical media like the older generations, but I feel so sick of not owning anything.
I'm tired of my pictures being digital on my phone and losing them easily if said phone breaks or I need more storage.
I'm tired of having music be a mp3 instead of a record or some shit. I'm tired of seeing music be wiped off the internet, becoming lost media, T.V shows too! I realize now that there was a reason for why I always downloaded my music.
I'm tired of subscriptions and being unable to own something.
I love physical copies of books, no ebooks. The ebooks hurt my eyes, they strain them, and the tablets are more uncomfortable to hold. Physical books are an absolute delight.
I'm thinking about getting a polaroid camera or something, I want to be able to make a scrapbook of the things that happen in my life. Take a picture and just... save it.
It won't get deleted by mega corporations, I won't run out of space and have to delete stuff, I won't get a virus and lose all my files, and most importantly, if my phone breaks, I won't lose it.
I don't care if cloud exists, it doesn't hit the same as a physical print. I feel more dopamine at looking at a physical print then a picture on my phone.
I'm going to try and get a record player, records, a polaroid camera. Not sure how my parents will react but I just feel so sick of it, burnt out almost.
I can't be the only one, I just can't be.
